Just tried to use my satnav for the first time and after entering the post code a message appeared stating that 'no street data was available for the entered post code' or words to that effect! Checked the code on Google maps and up popped the correct street, no problem. Then decided to enter my own post code and again the same message came up - despite the car being in the road of the post code!!! Any ideas before I go down to my local dealers tomorrow.....so frustrating
not really convinced but I will give it a go this morning to my work and see how I get on. If you are correct ( and I've no reason to doubt you helpful chaps) I won't be happy at having to pay the extra for a nav system that doesn't enable you to put in street names. Is this the case for the even more expensive Discover Nav system? My old RNS510 didn't behave this way so I will see this as a reduction functionality for a unit that costs more...Gents, thanks for the replies, and so to confirm yes I'm using the full post code and when I press OK the address screen displays the code and associated borough but the street line is blank. From what you're saying then if I press the start button it will then calculate the route with options and take me to the correct road? Hmmmm.....
Does that sound right? And for other addresses I managed to get the street name listed by using the first few digits of the code but for some reason it didn't like the Essex IG3 code ...which as a South London boy I guess is fair enough...Managed to get there in the end albeit to me by a very convoluted way! So the address I was after was IG3 9PF and street name Kilmartin Rd in Ilford. And no matter how I entered the post code be it 2,3,4 or in full it would not allow me to enter the street name. The way I eventually got the address in there was to type in the town name e.g. Ilford and only at that point did it allow me to type in the street name followed by the actual house number
