Good job you weren't collecting a Morgan as the sat nav in my 997 Turbo doesn't know that Malvern exists! What a load of rubbish!! The 200GBP Garmin Nuvi 250 we bought for our "runabout" Toyota does a better job than the one in 100k+GBP Porsche.

I'd take it back to the dealers or read the operating manual [;)]

My TT knows exactly where Malvern is along with the other 12 + 997's that made their way to the Morgan factory earlier in the year via their PCM's
Admittedly the postcode is only the first few digits and numbers but as I said earlier, its enough to get to to the vicinity allowing you to type in the road name.

Having plotted the route both for France and Wales drives, I've found the system to be better than my TT especially for zooming out and in to get an overall picture.
Sure I can enter the complete postcode into my TomTom but I'd certainly not replace the PCM with it.

Having said that the only time it (PCM) has let me down was on my car collection whilst it calibrated itself... the rest I'm embarrassed to say was operator error...[:'(]
