Morning everyone.
I would just like to say what a great forum you have here. I have been dropping in for some time now and was wondering if you could advise me on Sat Nav for my car. I fancy 3D maps and a PDA with a Bluetooth wireless receiver.
I like the Navman 4400 because of its long battery life and was thinking of a HP 2210.
I also like the TomTom but was disappointed with the receiver battery life. Any advice would be most appreciated

Delboy,
I believe the Tomtom receiver has been updated slightly. When I used it at the weekend, the battery lasted nearly 7 hours wihtout charging.
However Navman's new updated maps are great with 3d imaging and postalcodes aswell...very impressive.
My favourite is still the Tomtom with Tungsten T3.

moscowflyer,
the 5 digit postcode just means that you can input all but the last 2 letters and it will shortlist the streets under that code, ie. in glasgow we are G51 4EB.. i would input G51 4, then search for all streets in that area.. Is this what you mean??
