Third-Party GPS Devices
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.

symbols, you must contact the device's manufacturer to obtain the graphic files and the
waypoint ID number associated with each symbol.
