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: #| || **Map item categories** | **Drawing and editing rules (sections)** || || ![](_assets/btn_0_atd.png)**Administrative divisions** (administrative divisions: countries, districts, localities, etc.) | - [3.2.
