Hello Richard.
If I am in virtual mode I would rather put in the five digit zip code for
the place that I am going than to have to put in the city, and state.
assuming that I knew the zip code.

Looking at this from a GPS programmer's point of view, post codes (zip
codes) do not help ther GPS system to find a location. If you want Zip
codes, go to MapQuest.

Mike,
This is where I show my lack of world knowledge.
Isn't a post code the same as a zip code? Or can the zip code be
calculated in some way? I'm puzzled as to why the use of post codes
should be so difficult given that it appears to be standard, for the
systems being sold in the UK at at the moment. Is the post code not
held within the map data set?
Regards - Liam
