Jaguar satnav not recognising postcodes

[Simpo Two]

2006 S-Type with DVD satnav (2005 version).

It worked fine until a few weeks ago when I started getting 'Postcode not recognised by database' or similar. At first I thought it was simply foxed by new postcodes, but it can't find any at all, with or without a central space.

I've checked the DVD and it looks clean and in perfect condition. Any ideas please?

Have you checked that the map country is still set as UK?

You may have a point... when the car was having its AC fixed they managed to flatten the battery...

Furthermore, today when I tried to enter 'Stalham' it jumped to 'St Agata Communidad Valencia' and wouldn't let me enter 'Sta' at all. The DVD is marked 'Europe C 2005 Denso Corporation'.

However I can find no way to set it back to 'UK'; I can't find any menus saying 'select country'. I don't have the satnav manual so am a bit stumped.

Here you go:

Touch "Nav Menu" to get into the menus

Then "Destination Entry"

In the Destination Entry window it displays the country on the right hand side, there is a button to "change" country.

Touch "Change", then select "UK" from next screen.

Thank you very much Simon, easy when you know how. I was thinking too logically, expecting to set the county before the destination.

Obviously after a battery disconnection it defaults to Spain! Thanks again.
