The first step towards creating such a map is sourcing and understanding your data, and knowing what you are trying to display using your data. This is often the hardest part, and requires collaboration between Data and Profile Administrators. It is also important to know a dataset’s Terms of Use or Licence, and what this allows you to use the data for.
Wazimap NG uses .csv files to display point collections, and these .csv files require a particular shaping (formatting) to be properly understood by the Wazimap NG platform. This is the first step towards creating your map.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://openup.gitbook.io/wazimap-ng/point-mapper/what-is-point-mapper.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
