When you select an address from the list of search results, you can choose to show it on the map, add a
crossroad or plan a route to that chosen location. To get an exact address you can add the house number.
If you show the result on the map, you can use the pop-up menu to add the location to My Places.
Note: The best search results are shown on the map. When you zoom in, the lower ranked search results are
gradually shown.
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, "SS15 5UR 27". 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.
