Hi,

The reason is says this is because it thinks there is no number "2", reading what you typed it thinks the numbers start at 44 and go to 380, the problem could also be the Post Code files and the maps may not be as up to date as they could be.

What is the version number of your postcode file ?
Open folder named 'zip' & then use Notepad to open the the file named 'Great_BritainPostal' - it's the .VER file thats only 1kb

The latest is version 901 & is posted here (but will probably have the same problem) :-

The postcodes are not very accurate, out of date, and many are missing.

The maps aren't much better even if you have the latest.

It's just typical TomTom.
