Waypoints, Symbols, MapNotes, Text Labels, and Images
Adding a Waypoint, Symbol, MapNote, Text Label, or
Image to the Map
You can add point draw objects to a draw file in your current project. Point objects consist
of one anchor point attached to a waypoint, symbol, MapNote, image, or text label. The
anchor point is the pixel position on the symbol that corresponds to the geographic
coordinate of the point selected on the map when the symbol is placed.
• Use the Waypoint tool to label waypoints on a map. You can sync waypoints with a
GPS device.
• Use the Symbol tool to identify certain areas on the map such as houses,
monuments, or points of interest.
• Use the MapNote tool to point to and label a specific area on the map. See Map
Notes for more information.
• Use text labels to name features or give details about features on the map.
• Use the Image tool to add, edit, or place .bmp, .jpg, and .gif images on the map.
