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.

Global Mapper recognizes two field attributes as containing information for the display appearence of a Point Type. They are:
