Named places feature class (Named_Places)
The Named_Places feature class contains the names of populated areas within a coverage area.

The Named_Places feature class is helpful for calculating routes to a non-specific address, such as between two city names.
The following types of POIs are part of the Named_Places layer:
- Named Place POIs (city centers)
