WORK IN PROGRESS - DO NOT USE AT THIS TIME

Below is the full list of Landmark Types provided by WME as well as information as to which should and should not be mapped in the State of Connecticut. For those that should be mapped, information is provided on how to properly map them.


Transportation

Gas Station

We've heard from Waze that we SHOULD be creating landmarks for Gas Stations in the US, and there will be changes to the Gas Station system in the US soon. Map as fence line, make sure the landmark does not snap to roads. NOTE: Gas Station Landmarks suppress Traffic Jams & Automatic System Detected Errors.

Toll booth

Not Mapped. Also, there are no Toll Booths in the state.

Terminal

Not used at this time. Not defined at this time.

Airport

Mapped at the fence line, include parking lots/terminals that are close to the airport in one landmark. Try to avoid crossing non-airport roads with the landmark.

Train station

Mapped at the fence line, including parking lot(s) in one landmark.

Bus Station / Bus Terminal

Mapped at the fence line, including parking lot(s) in one landmark.

Sea Port

Not Mapped.

Parking Lot

Park & Ride / Commuter Parking Lots are mapped at the fence line. Name these as "Commuter Lot" or "Park & Ride" only - no specific names as it would get too long. Pay Parking Lots (Private & Municipal) - currently under discussion. Parking Lots at businesses are not mapped.

Junction/Interchange

Bridge

Major Bridges Mapped as a rectangle or arc only to include the road. See Appendix below for list of Major Bridges that are mapped in Connecticut.

Tunnel

Major Tunnels Mapped as a rectangle or arc only to include the road. See Appendix below for list of Major Bridges that are mapped in Connecticut.

Subway station

Not Mapped, Connecticut has no Subway.

Ferry lane

We really need a Ferry Road Type and an Avoid Ferry option in the client to do this properly, but for now mapped as a rectangle or arc only to include the route. At this time, only small ferry routes are mapped.
