Has anyone any experience of the neww systems Sony have released. They seem like they can be had for a good price complete with traffic anf full european mapping. Does anyone know whether they accept full postcodes for destinations. I tried asking Sony but only got a vague answer. That means either it can't or they didn't read the question.

Thanks

Todd

Finally got a full response from Sony. Their new systems won't accept just postcodes for street level addressing. You need to know the street name as well.

My thoughts exactly, it was one of the key features I was looking for. No wonder they were vague on everything I saw about it's capabilities.

Shame as it looked like a nice bit of kit, competitively priced with traffic and detailed european mapping.
