When you enter a Postcode on a Tomtom device you DON'T use the Space in the middle of the Postcode...
All of the previous NAV4 Models and the remaining Models in the NAV5 Range... The Via, GO & GO Premium 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)
Always use Quick Search, the best Search Engine....
Option (2)... Step by Step Search....
Its only the Start/42/52/62 Range of Models that only have the problematic Step by Step search option available... Its only the Step by Step search engine that has a problem with postcodes

Can anyone confirm that the issues in the Start 52 with Postcodes has now been resolved before I buy one.0

If it does, can you confirm that the VIA models have the same issue.0

Hi
@grahamkeen1
Welcome to the site....
Yes this is a long-standing problem....
The Postcode code search bug when using the latest Start 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 engine as the only search option...

Thank you very much indeed. I will pay the extra for the VIA 52 model just because it works even though I don't need most of the extras like Phone connectivity.
