/**
- The `MGLPointAnnotation` class defines a concrete annotation object located at
- a specified point. You can use this class, rather than define your own, in
- situations where all you want to do is associate a point on the map with a
- title.
+ An `MGLPointAnnotation` object represents a one-dimensional shape located at a
+ single geographical coordinate. Depending on how it is used, an
+ `MGLPointAnnotation` object is known as a point annotation or point shape. For
+ example, you could use a point shape to represent a city at low zoom levels, an
+ address at high zoom levels, or the location of a long press gesture.
+
+ You can add point shapes to the map by adding them to an `MGLShapeSource`
+ object. Configure the appearance of an `MGLShapeSource`’s or
+ `MGLVectorSource`’s point shapes collectively using an `MGLCircleStyleLayer` or
+ `MGLSymbolStyleLayer` object.
+
+ For more interactivity, add a selectable point annotation to a map view using
+ the `-[MGLMapView addAnnotation:]` method. Alternatively, define your own model
+ class that conforms to the `MGLAnnotation` protocol. Configure a point
+ annotation’s appearance using
+ `-[MGLMapViewDelegate mapView:imageForAnnotation:]` or
+ `-[MGLMapViewDelegate mapView:viewForAnnotation:]` (iOS only). A point
+ annotation’s `MGLShape.title` and `MGLShape.subtitle` properties define the
+ default content of the annotation’s callout (on iOS) or popover (on macOS).
+
+ To group multiple related points together in one shape, use an
+ `MGLPointCollection` or `MGLShapeCollection` object.
+
+ A point shape is known as a
+ <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.1.2">Point</a> geometry
+ in GeoJSON.
