TomTom full postcodes not working?

So before I moved over to here, by far the most popular post on my blog was the one detailing how to fix your TomTom device when it would only accept the first half of a UK postcode (so "AA1", rather than "AA1 1AA"). I've managed to retrieve at least part of that post and here it is as I notice a lot of you are still finding your way to me looking for this!

If you suffer from the same problem as I did then the solution can be found at http://www.tomtom.com/updates/great_britainpostal_all.zip. All you need to do is download the file and unzip it. Remove the SD card from your TomTom and insert it into a card reader, then run the setup.exe file that you’ve just unzipped. Follow the instructions on-screen and tell the program to update the memory card. Once the installation is done, pop the memory card back into your TomTom and you’re away. Full postcode searching goodness is now your to enjoy. Now you’ve got no excuse when you end up on the wrong street…

It's a new dawn...

It's a new day...

So as you'll see, I've moved. A number of run-ins with malware and people generally messing around with my old Wordpress blog have caused me to have a rethink. And this new looking blog (minimalist is how I like to think of it) is the result. I'm now relying on the likes of Blogger to keep me safe, rather than having to maintain my own MySql database as was the case previously. I'm sad to move away from A Small Orange, who have been by far the best commercial hosts I've ever used (thanks guys) but I just don't have the time anymore to deal with the ins and outs of maintaining my own blogging software, and as you the reader will have seen, my time for writing over the past couple of years has pretty much disappeared.

So I figured it was time to go to someone else and get them to host for me, and then all I have to do is worry about penning a few words every now and then. And so here we are. My topics will probably be different (after all my life has changed a lot since I started The Psychotic Monkey around 9 years ago), and there will still be quite a mix of things. But hopefully I'll find the time to pen some words every now and then. So for now, I need to go and see how I can make this look like my own, but I will be back soon... hopefully.
