# Rendering geographical objects

The Yandex.Maps service lets you put visual objects on maps: geo objects (placemarks, polylines and polygons), as well as balloons and popup hints.

All YMapsML elements that are used for describing [geometric and graphical data](https://yandex.ru/dev/maps/ymapsml/doc/en/guide/concepts/geodata.md) have visual representations and are displayed via geo objects.

The table shows the relationship between YMapsML elements and geo objects.
