ok this is going to seem daft but humour me will you .

if you have your satnav to hand could you put a couple of postcodes in and tell me where they are please ?
i already know myself but i’m having satnav problems , for some strange reason my satnav wont accept some postcodes and its going to cause me big problems if i dont sort it …

postcodes are … ch4 opd … and ch4 odr … dont google them please cos like i said i know where they are now but they still wont come up on my dam sat nav … i just want to see if anyone else has the same issues … :smiley:

ch4 0pd = fairfield road broughton
ch4 0dr = unamed road broughton

First one same as Wiggy, second one A5104 Chester Road Broughton

I have a Garmin, odd times it wont accept a post code, I have found I can search working backwards from the destination town, road etc etc. It usually does the trick. Sometimes if there are issues if you phone the customer and tell them you cant find them in a Sat Nav they will say put in BL4 ■■■ etc… Someone else with have raised it with them in the past.

same as wiggy, my mate is always phoning me up for directions. and he has a crap garmin too.
get a tom tom as they are a lot better.

in your original post I notice you have used an o instead of 0(zero), don’t know if this is the problem but it makes all the difference.

Just a thought, have you checked the internet for any software updates. It could make all the difference!

Easier? maybe an easier way to earn an extra 30mins pay, its not an easier way to find your destination.

Just done this on the Pro Nav PNN300 No1 Fairfield Road No2 Brookes Avenue .

The 0DR one is the airbus site. The postcode location is at the building entrance some way from a public road - maybe that’s why it doesn’t work in some satnavs.

You can always slot the code into Google Maps or similar to get the real location.

those post codes in my sat nav direct me 2 the shetland isles. And it asks if i want to go across by boat or not? If not the diversion is massive Lol
