I have received a TomTom Start 52 as a gift and when I want to navigate to a particular location I find it ver difficult are there any basic instructions out there?
If you use Postcodes for your searches be aware....
This is a long standing problem....
The Postcode code search bug when using the latest Start 42/52/62 devices is a real pain ( Step Search is optional on the other models in the range)
Any search for a Postcode... You have to enter a road/street name to execute a search ??? Why....
If you know the road/street name and a house number you don't need the Postcode
Most people use a Postcode because they don't know the road/street name and house number
Isolated farms, Single building, Office blocks, Retail parks, Hospitals, New builds etc...
For me it renders the latest Start device useless in the UK
