====================
==Postcodes==
Waze does '''not natively''' support postcode navigation, this means Waze must use a third party (''Google Maps'') to obtain the centre of a postcodes location and will then naivate the user to the '''closest segment'''. Editors have no designated way to set a postcode to the correct buildings, street, or area. Postcodes will generally cover multiple properties and in rural locations often cover large areas.
===Fixing postcode errors===
Postcodes should only be ''fixed'' in Waze where there is a '''genuine error''' in the location of the postcode and Waze routes users to an inappropriate destination (ie, wrong side of a river / railway, the middle of a motorway / dual carriageway, etc). It would be beneficial if the error is corrected on Google Maps, the source of the information but this can be difficult to achieve.
[[File:Quill Street London.png|center|frame|N2 4AD located on wrong side of railway, closer to Parkside Cr.]]
Postcodes should not be ''fixed'' if Waze '''already''' routes users onto the correct road, a postcode alone rarely locates to a single building. In these cases users should be reminded that Waze is designed to navigate to road names and business names for better routing.
Before attempting to ''fix'' to fix a postcode you should check the [https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode '''Royal Mail Postcode Finder'''] to better understand which properties a postcode covers. If a postcode covers properties on both side of an obstacle, such as a river, correcting it for one side will cause errors for the other side, and therefore should '''not''' be ''fixed''.[[File:Royal Mail Postcode Finder.png|center|450x450px|thumb|Postcode Finder results for N2 4AD]]
====Single buildings====
On the occasions when a single building is assigned an '''exclusive''' postcode (ie, large apartment blocks, DVLA, etc), a ''Place'' can be created for the business / building itself and the postcode linked in the ''External providers'' section.
====Multiple properties====
[[File:Postcode details.png|frame|Details to add when fixing postcodes.]]
''Fixing'' a postcode location for multiple properties works best when the postcode is assigned to a cul-de-sac, but can be used for longer roads if the appropriate group of properties can be determined. Create a ''Place Point'', locate it in in a sensible position on the segment (ie, the start of the cul-de-sac), and fill in the following details;
* Add the '''Address''' that matches the segment
* The full postcode as it shown by Royal Mail ('''N2 4AD''') as the primary ''Name''
** The same postcode without any spaces ('''N24AD''') as a secondary name, to ensure we capture all possible search inputs
* ''Category'' set to '''other'''
* Add something to the ''Description'' to identify this as a fix of a postcode error
* Lock it to '''L3''' to prevent accidental deletion
* Link the relevant Google Maps result in the ''External Providers''
==== Missing postcodes ====
The same method can be used for postcodes missing from the results, usually this is due to a new housing development not yet showing in Google Maps or in the Royal Mail database.
