Could do with a quick answer (cross-posted in RS6)

Ok so maybe I'm being stupid :roll: but how do you input a postcode in SatNav +, I have the travel info update disk and that side of things works fine but I cannot find an option on any of the menus to input a destination by postcode only?

Just enter the postcode in the 'City' entry.

As Peter said above, instead of typing a town or city name, just type the first 2 letters of the postcode followed by the 1st number & the system will work it out & start throwing you postcode options.

You can only go to a certain point with the postcodes, as IIRC you can't input the 2nd to & the last character, but with the remainder the system will get you within a few hundred yards of your destination by just the 1st few characters of the postcode. :)

Thanks chaps!

I see it now :roll:

I had looked there but when I didn't actually see a postcode option didn't realise I could still enter it :roll:
