Choose "Drive to" and in the "Search address or Place" box enter
ukpostcode:tr13lh
or whatever postcode you are looking for. Don't put any spaces in the postcode

It is now.
But I'll just say "It's my own invention." Don't like unsolved problems. But did it work for you, because...

And yet it works for me using Waze 2.0 on iPhone, and I'm not in the UK.
Possibilities: 1. It doesn't work for all postcodes - can you give us one that doesn't work hodgetts?
2. There's no Waze map near the Postcode @hodgetts used
3. @hodgetts can't type or follow instructions
4. Something I haven't thought about

UK Post codes!
by hodgetts » Sat Sep 18, 2010 9:33 am
I tried it for a number of postcodes I know are mapped in Waze. Here is the postcode I tried for my work (copy & paste to prove I can follow instructions)
ukpostcode:b775pz
Getting this solved would massively improve Waze.

So I am very wrong. A systematic error in my tests. So it will only work in some cases. Back to the drawing board. Sorry @hodgetts

So google local search gives the right answer but random letters and numbers give too many hits on the waze map. A client app change is probably needed.
I thought maybe I could fool it by adding some extra words to force a google local search. So b775pz sex works. But it depends on a sex related business being nearby the postcode. So probably a solution for the Uk at least

hi mates!
in the near future we will upload base maps to England's waze maps that already exist. afterwards we will eventually support post codes search. this process can take a while but we already started this process.
cheers!
