I have been informed that the latest 2007-2 maps now have upto 7 digit UK postcode search and not partial like in 2007-1 hooray!
They caught up with Tom Tom at long last

118 · May 22nd, 2007, 08:45 AM

wooohooo! fantastic - do you know when they are available?

ALD0 · May 22nd, 2007, 09:33 AM

Available now I believe

118 · May 22nd, 2007, 10:11 AM

hmmmm might have to pay a little visit to my dealer and see if I can manage a freebie then

well its worth a try, seeing as I've only had the car 3 weeks

DaFlake · May 23rd, 2007, 12:48 PM

Good luck with that...

i got the 2007-2 dvd on loan at the mo, havnt used it yet so will check about the 7 digit post code thing.

boxednfresh · May 25th, 2007, 01:49 AM

hmm just checked it out, could not see any 7 digit post code search. searched in town/city and road, still only 4 digits.

unless they have hidden it somewhere

ALD0 · Jun 19th, 2007, 10:16 PM

You deffo got 2007-2, I have been reliably informed it is up-to 7 digits now, anyone else have 2007-2, also are the disks the same for the R56 model?

Rich_IX · Jun 20th, 2007, 06:50 PM

Will ask my dodgy dealer to get me a copy

Does it require a firmware update to enable the postcode search does anyone know?

ALD0 · Jun 21st, 2007, 09:37 AM

Version 29 should be ok, how is the pimp mobile Rich?

Meeerrrk · Jul 3rd, 2007, 12:16 PM

its probably the firmware & new map disk together that allow the full postcode. if your running old firmware and install new map disk then you *might* only be able to do search as before. just a guess

118 · Jul 6th, 2007, 09:07 AM

spoke to the parts dept yesterday and apparently there is a Feb release which is £85 and does include the full post code search, however I'm still working on getting it for free, as this was released before my car was built

ALD0 · Jul 6th, 2007, 09:08 AM

£85 for the firmware update?
Or £85 for the map disk, that is a good price if it is for the map disk!

118 · Jul 6th, 2007, 09:10 AM

sorry, yep that's for the disc!

DaFlake · Jul 6th, 2007, 09:27 AM

Probably a CD and not the DVD.

ALD0 · Oct 3rd, 2007, 08:28 PM

OK, Have confirmed 2007-2 has not got 7 digit postcode search but can be added with data software tweeking apparantly...

118 · Oct 3rd, 2007, 08:37 PM

ooooooooooooh!

ALD0 · Oct 4th, 2007, 07:45 AM

I'm getting a disk soon, will let you know how it works...
What I can't work out is if someone can add this feature by re working the disk (much like adding the speed camera database) why can't BMW/Navtech that make the blooming disks do it, basic Tom Tom and other cheaper Sat Nav's systems have a 7 digit postcode search
