Title: NCDC Units - Sat Nav - Current Location
Post by: tunnie on 27 February 2012, 09:48:52

Is there an option to save your current position to the address book? I had problems locating an address  :-\

I went through the menu, but could not find anything  :-\

It was in Tolworth, which according to the Omega Sat Nav does not exist  ::)

I tried finding the road under Kingston Upon Thames, but it did not list it.  :(

Had more frustrations trying to input "Acton" but after much swearing I found it was listed under London. Is there a rule as to what areas of London are listed as London?

Its fine out in the country, but appears to struggle in the London regions.

It was a 2004 disc, but Tolworth was about then  ::)

Perhaps it supports wishful thinking? ;D

Unfortunately not... I find London addresses can be frustrating too. I think a 2004 disc should be able to cope with partial postcodes though :-\

You're welcome to have my 2008 (I think, might have been 2009/10) disk on extended loan swapsies for yours if the newer disk is better - I never did get round to fixing the aerial on mine anyway ;D

I belive it uses data from RM, so would be the official Post Town.

Didn't think the Siemens unit could do 5 digit postcodes. The CARiN units can, if running latest firmware.

You're more likely to be right than me :-[ :-[ I haven't even started mine for about 8 weeks, never mind looked at the sat nav ::)

No post codes on ncdc, sadly.
