When I was on holiday we were staying at a farm cottage, well off the
road network. I set up the location using grid reference instead. This
worked fine for getting to the cottage, correctly showing all the
tracks and minor roads. However, it would not set up any route (using
the postcode) until we reached the main road and did not show the
tracks. Any ideas what was going on?

Postcodes in rural areas can encompass a huge area so are of little use
when trying to navigate to rural addresses. (Or have I misunderstood your
question?)

Unfortunately, yes. It found the address without difficulty using the
grid reference instead of the postcode. However, parked at the address
it would not accept any postcode to plan a destination. It showed a
level of detail on the way in that was missing on the way out.

No help with your TomTom but when I'm at a location that's off Post
Code the car's satnav just draws a straight line to the nearest road
that it knows about when I plot a route out.

This was what I expected but it showed the lanes and farm tracks on
the way to the destination but not when leaving the destination. I
wonder if it needs two postcodes to plan a route? I assumed it would
locate itself then plan a route to the destination postcode. We were
both puzzled.
