Roads
Roads is a WikiMapia feature wherein you can mark out roads in WikiMapia, just like you mark places. However unlike marking places which are done by adding rectangles, you can mark roads by adding points. These successive points are joined (automatically as you go on marking them) by road segments.
Railroads
Railroads is a WikiMapia feature wherein you can mark out railway lines in WikiMapia. You can mark railroads by adding points. Once you anchor a point and move the cursor, a segment will automatically extend from it. A segment can only be established when another point is fixed to a location. These segments and points should be aligned accurately with the linear image of the railroad on the map.
Ferry
Water transport. A scheduled public passenger/car/rail transport service that travels over water on a set route. At least the ends of the water transport line must be named, information about the route and/or sailing times must be presented.
