When searching using a postal code, your results depend on the type of postal code used in the country that you are searching in.
The following types of postal codes are used:
Postal codes for streets
Countries such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom use this type of postal code. When you search using this type of postal code, enter the postal code, then leave a space and then optionally enter the house number. For example, "SS15 5UR 27". Your device then plans a route to a specific house or building on a specific street.
Postal codes for areas
Countries such as Germany, France, and Belgium use this type of postal code. If you search using a postal code for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the villages within that postal code.
When using quick search, you may get results from multiple countries if you enter a postal code for an area.
Note: If you search using a postal code for an area, you will not get a specific address in your results.
This type of postal code 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 postal code 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 postal code for an area and select the city center you're searching for from the results.
