A Point data source in Overture is a sequence of items where each item consists of a location and a collection of attribute values. An example of a point data source could be the locations of airports in a particular country, where the attributes of each point might include the airport's name, the number of daily flights and so forth.

Point data sources can be used to help with a variety of RF planning tasks. You can map any point data source by adding a point map. You can also convert point data sources to other geo data types by using various geo data transformers.

You can access the collection of point data providers in your project from the Mapping > Geo Data > Points menu option:

Accessing the Point data source collection

Then choose the required component type from the list of options in the Add drop-down.
