If you Live in the UK and using a lots of Postcode searches would avoid the Start 42/52/62 Range....
Postcode + Street Name... Start 42/52/62
This is a long standing problem....
The Postcode code search bug when using the latest Start 42/52/62 devices is a real pain
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
It's only the latest Start 42/52/62 Range that has this particular Step by Step search method
All of the previous NAV4 Models and the remaining Models in the NAV5 Range... The Via and GO Range have both the "Quick search" and "Step by Step search" as menu options
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Settings --> System --> Choose a search mode
Option... (1).... Quick Search (Default)
Option... (2)... Step by Step

I had a Ga*m*n once for a month
Swapped it for a Tomtom... Now my 8 various Tomtom devices update the Maps 4 Times per annum... Plus As required... QuickFixGPS + MapShare + Speed cams + Any NavCore updates... All Good rarely have a problem
Try Googling Ga*m*n T&Cs....
I find that the T&Cs for the definition of the Device being Out of Life, Maps size versus Memory size, the use Map zones or the supply your own Micro SD Card etc are similar to Tomtoms
With Tomtoms T&Cs the more user-friendly of the two
