What the pin types mean
Not every marker on the map is a pin. Pins are records added by users and come in four types; alongside them the map shows shops, municipal points and heat areas.
The four pin types
| Köpek (dog) | The dog or dogs you saw. Asks for the count, whether it has a collar, whether it looks like it needs help, and observed temperament. |
| Kedi (cat) | The cat or cats you saw. Asks for the count, an age estimate and the state of the mother; a mother with kittens can be flagged separately. |
| Su & Mama | A water bowl, a food bowl or a feeding station. Carries a station type, fullness and permanence. |
| Barınak (shelter) | A cat house, a dog kennel or a mixed shelter. Carries capacity and permanence, and can be flagged as needing repair. |
Sub types of water and food points
A water and food pin carries one of five station types: Kase, Yerçekimli istasyon, Mama otomatı, Belediye odağı and Pet şişe. Details are in Adding a water and food point.
Fullness takes three values: full, half and empty. If it has never been reported it shows as unknown. Water and food are shown separately, so a point can have full water and half food.
Markers that are not pins
Not everything on the map is a user record. The layer menu turns these on and off separately:
- Belediye Noktaları, official municipal points.
- Petshop and Pet Kuaför (pet grooming), businesses.
- Sadece ACİL Göster, reduces the map to urgent cases only.
When you tap a point, a card that says Kullanıcı Kaydı (user record) means a user added it. The card also shows how long it takes to get there on foot and by car.
Heat areas
The soft coloured areas are not individual pins, they show density in that neighbourhood. The darker the area, the more records there are. Tapping a heat area opens the detail card for that area.
Heat and pins come from the same records. Where the heat is dark there really are pins; they are not two separately maintained sets of information.
