Waypoints, Symbols, MapNotes, Text Labels, and

Adding a Waypoint, Symbol, MapNote, Text Label, or
Image to the Map
You can add point draw objects to a draw file in your current map file. Point objects
consist of one anchor point attached to a waypoint, symbol, MapNote, image, or text
label. The anchor point is the pixel position on the symbol that corresponds to the
geographic coordinate of the point selected on the map when the symbol is placed.

Use the waypoints tool to label waypoints on a map. You can exchange
waypoints with a GPS receiver.
•
Use symbols to identify certain areas on the map such as houses,
monuments, or points of interest.
•
Use MapNotes to point to and label a specific area on the map. See Map
Notes for more information.
•
Use text labels to name features or give details about features on the map.
