yep, i always wondered why it would let me put the last 2 digits in!! hmmm, got a bit ripped of there then!

I thought TomToms were most expensive than this, but just ordered this one from pc world for £90 and its got europe maps on there too not that i ever go to europe but may do one day! and its got speed camera alerts too! :-)

well it was actually a bit less than £90 as i got 5% off using a code from here.

Happy days! I might actually start arriving on time soon! :-)

Little bit annoyed the garage didnt tell me about the 5 digit thing though to be honest, one of the main reasons I bought that one because it had the sat nav!!!

And so do Garmins!

I have a fitted TomTom in my Mazda CX-5, to be honest its ok but that's all.

Both Xtrails i had with satnav were much better IMO, even though they didn't have post codes on my models, 2004, 2009.

I also have a Garmin that is ok but that all.

Since using the built in satnav with post codes i have found myself as much as a mile away from my destination, but only in rural areas, post codes cover a large area out of town, something to consider. A street number is essential.

The only accurate way i've found for rural areas is to use X,Y coordinates, these get you exactly to the place you want.

If its somewhere we havent been before using google maps and finnishing with street view works for me.

Got a Garmin, had it about 5 years now. It takes full 7 digit post codes and has always taken me direct to the address. If you are out in the sticks where post codes are next to useless it takes lat/long input.

Brilliant for under £100.
