About ZIP codes
When searching using a ZIP code, your results depend on the type of ZIP code used in the country
that you are searching in.
The following types of ZIP codes are used:
ZIP codes that navigate you to a street or part of a street.
ZIP codes that navigate you to an area comprising, for example, a single town, several towns
in a rural area, or a district in a large city.
ZIP codes for streets
Countries such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom use this type of ZIP code. When you
search using this type of ZIP code, enter the ZIP code, 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.
ZIP codes for areas
Countries such as Germany, France, and Belgium use this type of ZIP code. If you search using a
ZIP code for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the
villages within that ZIP code.
When using quick search, you may get results from multiple countries if you enter a ZIP code for
an area.
Note: If you search using a ZIP code for an area, you will not get a specific address in your
results.
This type of ZIP 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 ZIP 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.
