| TomTom 5 on PDA? Hi, I've got TomTom 3 on my iPaq, and was just wondering if it was worth paying the the TomTom5 £39 (well, 59 euros) upgrade price. The full postcode support feature is the one that interests me most. Also, can you use the POIs compatible with TT3? I've got a load of POIs that i've downloaded from various places.

| I too am wondering this, for the full postcode search, I think thats pretty good. There is also more features such as a traffic watch feature built in. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do this. It is Inevitable.....  |

| You can add full postcode search to the older versions of TT, theres a free download that you need to install to get it. Have a look on the pocketgpsworld website.  |

| I've just upgraded from 3 to 5 and I'm impressed. Route planning is much faster, the animation of maps (e.g. zooming in/out) is smoother judging by demo mode, and you get loads of CDs full of maps (though I haven't installed any - maybe you need to enter more serial codes? I hope not, I'm sure I read they were included.) But postcode searching is definitely not 7 character by default, at least not in London. How do you enable it?
