2.4.2. Map item categories
Yandex Map Editor items are divided into several categories. For example, there are Building
and Transport
categories.
Almost all categories are divided into sub-categories. For example, the Transport
category includes the subcategories Railway
, Water transport
, Air transport
, etc.
Every subcategory can include different types of items. Furthermore, items from a single category can include items of different geometric types: places, linear items, and polygonal items. For example, the subcategory Railways
in the Transport
category includes linear items (sections of railway), places (stations), and polygonal items (platforms).
A list of categories and subcategories for YME items and links to the drawing and editing rules for each of them can be found in the table:
