I think you can only enter the first half of a UK postcode - that is RG1
(not RG1 6NY).
I don't often use the address lookup feature but I think it will come up
with a range of addresses in most cases as the addresses are held in ranges.
For example if you look at location details it usually gives you a range of
numbers on the left and a range of numbers on the right. The ranges should
get you to the right portion of a street as they are always split across
road junctions. In most cases an individual address can only be given by
dividing the length of street by the number of addresses in a range - that
is there are not individual markers for each address.
I hope this makes some sense.

Subject: [gps-talkusers] finding addresses in gps 2010
i have just got my braillenote back from humanware this morning
and i have a question about searching for addresses in 2010.
the question is are all addresses multiple numbers?
i ask because i have tried searching for obvious addresses and it
seems to want to come up with information i don't expect ie some
home addresses with two numbers.
my home address for example wants to come up with a range rather
than an individual number.
at the moment i am just exploring with vertual mode until my dad
brings down the strap for my braillenote which he detached before
it was sent to humanware.
i even tried doing an obvious search for my parents address and
it seemed to come up with the wrong information including seeming
to suggest there was a shop where my parents number is which is
strange.
is there something i am overlooking when inputting an address?
i also notice it doesn't appear to like many postcodes i try to
enter because it keeps saying "postcode not found."
perhaps someone in the uk would be best answering this question
as the user manual is aimed at us users and how people in the us
enter addresses is different from entering postal addresses in
the uk.
