I wasn't sure where to put this,so here goes. My daughter has gone to Huddersfield University. The halls where she is living are a brand new and the post code isn't recognized by satnavs. Which has just caused a problem with Tesco delivering food. My question is,how long does it take before new post codes become recognised by satnavs?

Not until Satnav makers provide map updates. Also needs Satnav users to update their devices maps.
I think marwel7 this is more to Do with the Sat nav than p/codes, the Code will be recognised by R Mail, Do you upgrade Sat Navs?
Sorry update :(
don't know the answer to your post but i remember the old days when van drivers went about their business without satnavs



The Sat Nav needs updating by the sound of it.

Thanks for those answers. I have no idea about how to update the satnav,but Tesco should have done that.
one short term fix might be to use the postcode for an older, adjoining road, if there is one
Unfortunately it requires both the satnav operators and owners to update. There was a new road built near me last year and although I updated regularly whenever I drove on the road my satnav showed I was driving in a field. It was nearly two months before the operator updated and I was driving on the road.
It's a jolly good show that the World was discovered not to be flat a long, long time ago:)
Most Supermarket delivery sections have somewhere you can add extra directions, so choose the nearest landmark or main road then add directions from there.


I have to do it as most Sat Navs take deliveries to the wrong entrance resulting in a phone call from a lost driver.

My place has been built since the 60s too.
Tesco delivering food to a student indeed! How times have changed since I (as a student) was scratching around with my flat-mate to find enough small change to buy a bag of chips to share!
Well a few students clubbing together to get Tesco everyday beans etc at £1 delivery slot seems quite sensible especially if they are a long way from a store.
