Smile Mail box

Ok.. we all have a 5 + 4 zip code. The first 5 are the town/city you reside in...in TV we have a unique zio code because if the numbers of people. An example of this is the empire state building...it has 23 unique zip codes defining different floors or companies. Now the +4 at the end of your 5 digit zip code is an identifier
Indicateing the "walk sequence" of the carrier. Bringing it to the exact walking pattern of the carrier.
Confusing but true

Yes, I knew about this, and reported the issue last fall.

Google uses a different map database, and will eventually catch up and update things. Older portions of Marsh Bend are included.

Waze, Apple Maps, and OpenStreetMaps do show most of the roads but only some of the addresses. These include Deluna, too.

An anecdote: in February my cousin came to visit, but ignored my warning about using Google. He typed my address into his Waze, and got to my neighborhood using the dirt/gravel road from 301 just south of the Turnpike.

A lot of construction vehicles are now coming in from the north using that route.

In our neighborhood, when we open our random numbered box, in the back (where the postal officers work) is our actual address, so, no, one has nothing to do with the other
