Creating a New Symbol
With DeLorme XSym you can add a new symbol to an existing or new symbol set (.dim) file.
You can assign a new category name for the symbol to help locate it under the Find tab in
the DeLorme mapping program.
To Create a New Symbol
Use the following steps to create a new symbol.
1. Click the Draw tab.
2. Click and hold the Symbol/MapNote/Text Label/Image tool
to view its hidden options. Select the Symbol tool
.
3. Under Symbols, select the symbol set you want to add your new symbol to from the
drop-down list OR select New to create a new symbol set.
4. Under Symbols, click Edit to display the DeLorme XSym dialog box.
5. Under Symbols in Set, click New to clear the Symbol Editing Grid.
6. Use the tools in the Draw Tool Box
and the tools under Transparency and Anchor to
create the new symbol.
• To undo the last action, click the Undo button
under Edit Symbol.
• To repeat the last action, click the Redo button
under Edit Symbol.
7. To assign a symbol name to the current symbol, type a name or phrase in the
Symbol Name text box under Edit Symbol.
Note Once a name is assigned to a symbol in a symbol set, each occurrence of that
symbol placed on the map retains the new symbol name in addition to the default
symbol name of "symbol."
8. Click OK when finished.
Notes
• As you create a symbol, an image preview displays to the upper-left of the Symbol
Editing Grid. You can make edits to the symbol in either the Image Preview or the
Symbol Editing Grid. Any edits done in one view are mirrored in the other view.

GPS Device Custom Symbols
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.
