Categorical Geo Data in Overture is a data set where the value at each location can only take one of a given set of values. Clutter and land use data are good examples of this geo data type.

Categorical geo data can be used to help with a variety of RF planning tasks in Overture. You can map any categorical geo data source by adding a categorical map. You can use them to categorize statistics, or to make other geo data types by using various geo data transformers.

In Overture, the serving sector, serving radio and serving site components are all categorical providers.

You can access the collection of categorical geo data providers in your project from the Mapping > Geo Data > Categorical > Edit List menu option:
