Place icons

To style places with the correct icons, you can use the place icons resource. There is a unique icon available for all top-level place categories and many other specific child categories. An icon can represent a unique place, such as "airport", or it can be shared and represent a variety of thematically related places such as "tea house", "cafe", and "coffee shop".

Icons can be returned as a png, svg, or cim symbol. By default, svg and cim icons are 15px and png icons are 48px.
