GPS Device Custom Symbols

You can use DeLorme XSym to create custom symbol sets for use with your DeLorme PN-

Series GPS device or a compatible third-party GPS device.
If you are assigning waypoint IDs to symbols for a third-party device, use the Waypoint ID

text box (shaded green) to make the assignment. If you are assigning symbols to use with

a PN-Series GPS, click the button in the GPS area (shaded orange). The image on the

button changes based on the symbol you have selected.
