I hope someone can help me. My wife has a September 16 Macan SD and the satnav refuses to recognise some addresses. the latest today is

CB3 9DQ. Please could someone try it and see if they can get it to work?

If the postcode wont work, then the address is Grange Road, Cambridge. The satnav wont let her enter that either. It is a whacking great road that has been there for over 100 years so I don't understand what we are doing wrong. Please can someone try that?

THanks

Have you tried entering the postcode in the town/city field?

That worked! I have no idea why as we usually put the postcode in the search field.

For the double, any idea how to put in Grange Road, Cambridge?

Thanks, peace restored here/

Grange Road is not listed on the road name options for Cambridge, just The Grange in a different part of the city.
As rydercowan says putting the post code into the city field works - see my screenshot:

That’s handy to know as I’ve had a similar problem several times and have resorted to google maps on my phone.

Try using the PCM connect app. It has never let me down and save all the destinations before I get in the car. Then a quick click and ready to go.
