Point Objects
Point Objects Overview
Topo USA 5.0 lets you add point draw objects to a draw file in your current map file. Point objects consist of one
anchor point attached to either a symbol, MapNote, image, or text label. The anchor point is the pixel position on the
symbol which corresponds to the geographic coordinate of the point selected on the map when the symbol is placed.
The point object tools are within one of the hidden draw tools. Hidden draw tools are those which have a small
arrow at the bottom-right of the draw tool symbol as shown in this sample .
Once you have added a point object to a draw file, it can be edited (name only), copied, moved, or deleted at any
time. The following table lists the point objects you can add and the suggested uses of each.
Point Object Tool Used Suggested Use
Waypoints
Use the waypoints tool to label waypoints on a map. Waypoints can be
uploaded to a GPS receiver or downloaded from a GPS receiver.
Symbols
Use symbols to identify certain areas on the map such as houses, monuments,
or points of interest.
MapNotes
Use MapNotes to point to and label a specific area on the map.
Text Labels
Use text labels to name features or give details about features on the map.
Note: Text labels do not offer border or fill colors. To make your object
name more noticeable, change the font size or font color.
Images
Use the image tool to add, edit, or place .bmp, .jpg, and .gif images on the
map.
XSym lets you create and edit your own custom symbols which can then be added to maps within
DeLorme mapping applications. For more information on XSym, see Custom Symbols on page 107.
Waypoints: Adding, Editing, and Placing
Topo USA 5.0 lets you add waypoints to your map which can later be uploaded to a GPS device, Pocket PC device,
or Palm OS device.
Any draw file you create can be added to multiple map files.
Five draw tool options provide pull-out menus with hidden tools. See Hidden Draw Tools on
page 64 for more information.
You can search for a waypoint by its name using the QuickSearch function in the Find tab or by
typing the name in the start, finish, stop, or via text boxes when creating a route in the Route tab.
