Tom Tom Go postcode ugrade

[pammy]

It's hubby's birthday in a couple of weeks and I want to get him the TTG postcode upgrade. I've already upgraded via the wodn load to V5 firmward which is great, but as far as I know you get the V5 and the postcodes on the new upgrade card. Is this right?

TTG's website is still saying to allow 5 weeks for delivery - will it really take that long ?

I don't know about TomTom GO sorry, but the TomTom Navigator (for PDA) upgrade has a bug. After the upgrade you may not have full postcode support (only the first 4 characters). Creating an empty 'TomTom' directory on the root of the storage card fixes it and then offers full postcode routing.

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone hits it. I found the fix on pocketgps.co.uk

have just hit the first problem - I upgraded the firmware to v5.2 about 10 days ago - went well and works great - but now the product code from the original SD card is not recogised by TTG yet it was 10 days ago for the v5.2 upgrade

Pammy,
Do you mean the 'Navigate to Post Code' option that comes with the new map v571 ?

erm - I think so. Got the code biz sorted and it's now on order so should be here soon - hopefully for his birfday
