Can someone advise me how to set a postcode destination in the Satnav.
I can only find City which does not respond to a postcode. CMH

Specifying a destination with an address
A destination can be specified in different ways
in the navigation system* - selecting an address
is one of them.

1. When the map is shown, expand the tools
field using the down arrow on the left-hand
side and press Set dest.
> The map image changes to free text
searching.

2. Press Address.

3. All fields do not need to be filled in. For a
journey to a city, for example, it is sufficient
to enter just the country and city. Guidance is
then given to the city's centre.

4. Select one of the available text field options
and type using the centre display keyboard:
• Country/State/Province
• City/Territory/Postcode
• Address
• Number
• Junction

I think Skyrimmer is right, select the "Address" tab after tapping "Set destination". You can enter postcode in the "free search" section, but it only seems to do the first 3-4 characters (e.g. NR12 3 instead of NR12 3ZX).

Alternatively, I found the voice control to be decent by simply speaking out: "Navigate to N, R, Twelve, 3, Z, X".
