Custom Symbols Overview
DeLorme XSym lets you create and edit your own symbols, which you can edit and
add to maps within DeLorme mapping programs. The symbols created are 24 x 24
pixels. New and edited symbols are saved within a symbol set (.dim file) and can
contain up to 250 symbols. Symbol set files are located at C:\DeLorme
Docs\Symbols.
