Table layers
| Layer name | Description |
|---|---|
Abbreviations | This table represents abbreviations for network direction settings. |
Map Building Area Feature (MapBuildingAreaFeature) | This table represents building features. |
POI Contact (POIContact) | This table provides contact information for a POI. The contact information can be of various types, as indicated by the Contact_Type field. A POI can have multiple entries in the POIContact table, when different contact information is available for the POI. |
Profiles (Profiles) | This table represents speed profiles on streets. |
Reference Landmarks (Reference_Landmarks) | This table defines visible landmarks to provide natural guidance/enhanced directions at junctions. |
Signposts Streets (Signposts_Streets) | This table defines the links involved in Signposts. Each SignPost is defined by a combination of two edges. Therefore, one Signposts entry is defined by two entries in the Signposts Streets layer: one for the From Edge and one for the To Edge. The From Edge ID and To Edge ID involved in the SignPost can be disconnected. |
Streets Profiles (Streets_Profiles) | This table represents street profiles on navigable links (road networks). |
Streets Road Splits (Streets_RoadSplits) | This table defines where roads split off and fork into multiple streets. |
Streets TMC (Streets_TMC) | This table represents navigable links (road networks). The TMC (Traffic Message Channel) coding is a mechanism to connect TMC-based dynamic traffic information to the HERE maps. The TMC codes represent predefined code available in so-called Location Tables. These TMC codes enable cross-referencing between TMC-based traffic messages and HERE map features. |
Time Zones (TimeZones) | This table represents time zones. |
| Z-level Information (ZlevelCrossing) | This table contains Z-level information for coordinate pairs to model a relative stacking order when navigable links are crossing other navigable links, or specific cartographic features (for example, railroads, water). The Z-level information can be used to render the road network correctly when it crosses other map features (for example, this link should be drawn on top of that link). |
