Rendering geographical objects
The Yandex.Maps service lets you put visual objects on maps: geo objects (placemarks, polylines and polygons), as well as balloons and popup hints.
All YMapsML elements that are used for describing geometric and graphical data have visual representations and are displayed via geo objects.
The table shows the relationship between YMapsML elements and geo objects.
