Street layers 00-08 are subsets of the Network layer. The Street layers contain road geometry divided on Functional Road Class. These layers are provided to facilitate map display. Stubbles are not included. The Road and Ferry Elements are in separate tables for ease of use. For the Road layers 00, 01, 02, 03, 04 and 05 the road geometry is dissolved to speed up visualization.

Ferries

fe

Ferry Geometry is present both as part of the Transportation Network Geometry in the Network layer (with all basic and Extended Attributes, including Official and Alternative Name and Restrictions/Time-dependent Restrictions) and also as a separate fe Ferry layer. In the fe Ferry layer, only the more basic attributes are present in order to ensure the integration with the rest of the Street layers or Road Network Geometry.

Address Areas

Note: This feature is currently available for countries outside of the U.S. and Canada.

An Address Area is a square or place that should not be used for routing purposes. However, it is important as a destination because it contains addresses that cannot be related to the street name of the road that passes by or through. This is illustrated by the figure below.

Figure: Address Area

Street names D, E, F and G are officially assigned to both sides of the streets. Square B has address information that is different from that of the streets, and is as such defined as an Address Area with its own address information. Square A does not have any address information of its own; therefore, it is not considered as being an Address Area.

An Address Area is included in the MultiNet^® Shapefile product in two different ways:

As a part of the Transportation Network with the Feature Type Address Area Boundary Element. The relation between the Address Area Boundary Element and its Address Area is stored in the table ab (Address Area Boundary Element belonging to Address Area).
As a distinct Area Feature bounded by its boundary elements
