This section reviews the point styles built into Global Mapper.
See AlsoPoint Styles
Using the Point Styles panel users can configure what symbol will be used to display points of a given type. In addition, the Show Labels for Points of This Type option allows a user to turn point labels off on a type-by-type basis. The Custom Symbols section allows users to create new symbols from their own bitmap and icon files which they can then use as the symbol to display for a given type.
Global Mapper's Point Type Features are listed in the Global Mapper Point Type Features table. Symbols are listed in the Global Mapper Symbols table.
