====================
==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 navigate 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.
Fixes for missing postcodes should be removed once the postcode data becomes available, it is suggested you leave a comment to allow other editors to monitor the status.
