New categories for Places Nearby search

With the Geocoding & Places  API you can create geolocation-based applications that enables users to forward/reverse geocode addresses with high precision, search and display geographic locations, such as shops and prominent Points of Interest (POIs) in various categories.

In the new version of the PTV Developer Geocoding & Places  API V1.7.1 we increased the number places categories available via the Places by Position endpoint. 

If you want to know which categories are available, just have a look on the Places Categories concept and try out the Places Categories endpoint.
