Search ranking​

The prominence of places in search results is derived from links between Wikipedia articles and from Wikidata, using the Wikimedia importance data published by the Nominatim project.

Map symbols​

Some public transport symbols on the map are logos of their operators, shown only to mark the operator's stations and entrances:

  • Prague Metro symbol © ROPID, from pid.cz, CC BY 4.0 via Wikimedia Commons; changed: rounded corners and a white border for the map; a black symbol on the line colour, as on the Legible Prague signs.
  • Warsaw Metro logo by Witold Popiel (1983), public domain (Wikimedia Commons).

Logos remain trademarks of their owners; their use does not imply endorsement.
