In the lower part of the window, there will be a list of the small handful of apps on your device that support document transfer. One of those will be SkyDemon. Click on it to select it, and you'll then see the SkyDemon 'files' in the window to the right. Drag 'n' drop your postcode file into that window, then hit the Sync button at the bottom.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 39	Does anyone (maybe Tim Dawson could answer) know if the Post Codes database has any use in SD Mobile? On my third party device (AV80R) I have loaded post codes and I have the same problem with the synch taking place every time I synch charts etc as described above, when the post code database probably hasn't changed at all. However, I can't find any Find functionality that makes use of the post code database in the Mobile Skydemon. It seems a bit ironic that you have all the delays on the synchonisation but no benefits once the data is in the unit? Richard

It is a bit annoying that it always loads the database when syncing, but it only takes seconds so I can live with it for now.
