Low-line Sat Nav and post codes

Lightyear · 24th May 2007, 11:01

Folks,

I have just bought a 2006/07 update CD for my Low-line Sat Nav, inserted it and it appears to work fine. I have not done a full test on it yet, but it appears just as the existing 2001 disk did - but hopefully with additions to the data-base.

The Ebay add for the CD suggested that it would allow Post Code address searches etc ...does anyone know whether this is actually possible with the
Low-line system...if so how ??

Many thanks in advance.

Cheers + ATVB

It is possible but only for selected areas and the system doesn't do the full postcode.
Either on city or street option (Can't remember which) type in first letter of postcode and you will then get available next letters

I will have a bit of a play later. That said, I have thus far been quite impressed with the simplicity of the system. The directions it give are simple and clear - not over complicated and actually appear to work - even where I live where mobile phone signals are poor and Vodafone doesn't work at all !!!

Clever things them Satelliites they don't manage to hide behind hills and trees like mobile phone masts do!

Plus you have a gyro and wheel sensor info so that when you go underground in tunnels it still knows where you are

Post code access is available but limited ie BB1 6. You then have to enter the street or if you looking for a golf club for example it will list all in that area. Simple but effective :lol:

It does actually work...had a little play last night (Ooo err Mrs), but need to give it a proper try out on the tarmac.

Cheers Folks

could one of you technical chap tell me where the gyro and wheels sensors are??

my sat nav plays up in the wet and seems to be about 30-50 yrds out and then loses itself for a minute

if it only does it in the wet could it be a wheel sensor on way out??

cheers
