    UPCS has a Featured locations page that lists selected places with their codes. It is a good place to see what real codes look like before you create one of your own.

    What you can see there

    • Examples of codes in the CC-XXXX-XXXX pattern, such as PK-1A2B-3C4D.
    • The label and address of each place, where one has been added.
    • A View on Map button that opens the place on a map.

    How to use it for learning

    1. Open the Featured locations page at upcs.io/featured-locations.
    2. Pick a location that interests you.
    3. Look at its code and address.
    4. Choose View on Map to see where it sits relative to the surrounding roads and buildings.
    5. Paste one of the codes into the search box at the top of the site to see the lookup page for it. Finding a location from a code describes that page.

    This builds a feel for what a precisely placed code looks like before you create your own with generating your first code.

    What it is not

    The page is a selection of places for illustration and discovery. It is not a directory of every code, and it is not a replacement for looking up a code that someone gave you.
