The User Identifier property is normally your email address. However your company may choose to use a different naming convention.
The Map File properties are the names of the files where map coordinates are stored whenever you click the map button and indicate GPX, GPI, nRoute, or MobilePC output. Click the file chooser button to navigate to the folder where you want to put your map output data. Typically this folder is where a subsequent map viewer application would read the data. The file chooser uses default filenames but you can modify this if you want. When you click the Save button an empty file with this name will be created. The full pathname is displayed in the text box. As an alternate method of entry you can enter or modify the full pathname directly in the text box.
The Map Symbol property is the symbol name of the icon that is displayed for locations by your map viewer or GPS device. For Garmin devices choose one of the Garmin symbol names. The initial setting provided is for a green dot. If you have a Garmin GPS device or use a Garmin map viewer like nRoute or Mobile PC then you do not need to change this setting. If you use other GPS devices or map viewers then you should use the names published by the vendor. Some vendors do not use the symbol name field at all. Google Earth is an example. Such vendors will ignore the value provided. The drop-down list has a set of commonly used Garmin symbols. If you want to use a symbol not in the list you can enter the name of it. You can also select no symbol from the drop-down list or delete the contents of the text field. A map viewer will then normally use a default symbol.
Click the OK button to save the settings. Click the Set to Default button to reset the settings to default values.
