Place name search

spr

Hi. Why does TomTom not easily find place names? Tried post code & points of interest whilst liking for a well known health centre. Then tried apple & google maps and both found it straight away! Not had tomtom long but has happened quite a few times already. Getting on my nerves already!

Hi

Hi @spr

If you are inserting a Gap in the Postcode if so try again with no gap as TT does not work with the gaps.

If you are using a Current model PND go into Settings/ system and if search option set to Step by Step change to Quick Search if you can on your model.

Hi yamfazman. TomTom go app iOS.
Alexandra park health centre, moss side
I didn’t know the post code at the time. Nothing showed up at all. Now you copy that into Apple or google maps and bang, there it is. I’ve had this a coupe of time in the short time I’ve had TomTom …

Hi @spr

The Whitswood Practice which is at the Alexanrda Park Health Centre is listed under Points of Interest on the Go Navigation IOS app.

The Postcode is M167AP

I know now but at the time I only had the title what it’s actually known as popularly and which is listed internally in NHS. Point being other maps knew this but not TomTom!
