Please do not report (UR) wrong postcode

I believe you have seen few URs reporting wrong postcode. Should state this in the wiki not to report this?

+1. I vote Yes, as Waze does not support Pin Codes as yet.

Waze does support postcodes cherianchris.

The only problem is sometimes Waze makes a mistake and sends you to the wrong street. It puts the coordinates of the postode to the nearest street.

I tried going to a business the other day, it sent me to a street that was the other side of a field as the pin for the postcode was placed in the middle, so Waze sent me to the nearest street to the pin.

Best thing you can do is mark them as unresolved as there is nothing we as editors can do about it.

Thank you for that. I stand corrected… :smile:

Waze passes postcode lookups to a 3rd party (probably Bing), and then navigates to the road closest to that point. Sometimes tweaking the segment geometry can fix a problem, but you need to submit feedback to Bing about gross errors.

I did that before but it seems Bing is not good to respond the feedback. Google is quite good to respond the map error report though.

When I’ve seen this problem, it’s usually been the postcode for a business or institution. Something big, anyway, that has its own entrance road or drive. Putting that road on the map (and if necessary tweaking it about it about to get it near the pin) works in terms of sending people the right way.

Yes, this is why we ask in the wiki to put parking lots as close to the front entrance of the the business as possible. :sunglasses:

Ah right. I hadn’t actually seen that :oops:
