Assigning a Waypoint ID to a Custom Symbol
With DeLorme XSym, you can create a custom symbol set that includes all of the
waypoint symbols on your third-party GPS device. By creating this custom symbol
set, the waypoints you create display the same in both the mapping application and
on your third-party GPS device, no matter where they originated.
Third-party GPS waypoint symbols are identified by their waypoint ID number, which
is assigned by the device's manufacturer. To successfully view third-party GPS
waypoint symbols in the mapping application, you must assign the proper waypoint
identification number to each symbol you add to the custom symbol set.
Important To create a custom symbol set of your third-party GPS device's
waypoint symbols, you must contact the device's manufacturer to obtain the graphic
files and the waypoint ID number associated with each symbol.
Notes
•
Waypoint ID numbers vary by manufacturer and model.
•
If you import multiple waypoints from a third-party GPS device without assigning
a waypoint ID to each first, the waypoints display in the mapping application
with the same default symbol.
•
If you do not know the identification number for a third-party GPS device's
waypoint, import the waypoint file into the mapping application. Then, use one
of the two methods below to learn the waypoint ID:
o
Open the symbol set that holds the waypoint and view the waypoint's ID
number in XSym.
o
Click the Info tool on the toolbar and click the symbol on the map.
The waypoint ID displays in the Info tab.
