About postcodes
When searching using a postcode, your results depend on the type of postcode used in the country
that you are searching in.
The following types of postcodes are used:
Postcodes that navigate you to a street or part of a street.
Postcodes that navigate you to an area comprising, for example, a single town, several villages
in a rural area or a district in a large city.
Postcodes for streets
Countries such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom use this type of postcode. When you
search using this type of postcode, enter the postcode, then leave a space and then optionally enter
the house number. For example, "1017CT 35". Your device then plans a route to a specific house or
building on a specific street.
Postcodes for areas
Countries such as Germany, France and Belgium use this type of postcode. If you search using a
postcode for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the
villages within that postcode.
When using quick search, you may get results from multiple countries if you enter a postcode for an
area.
Note: If you search using a postcode for an area, you will not get a specific address in your
results.
This type of postcode is still very useful in reducing the number of search results. For example, a
search for Neustadt in Germany returns a long list of possible results. Adding a space followed by
the postcode for an area narrows the results down to the Neustadt that you are looking for.
As another example, if you want to search in a city, enter a postcode for an area and select the city
centre you are searching for from the results.
