waypoint ID to each first, all of the waypoints display in the mapping application with a
single 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.
Editing a Symbol
