Waypoint symbol attributes for Dragonfly and MFDs running Lighthouse II or LightHouse 3 software

The GPS Exchange (GPX) file format neither defines nor limits the types of symbols that may be assigned to waypoints. As such, one should not expect that waypoints planned using third party computer based navigational planning software or a third party chartplotting product will retain their assigned symbols when GPX files produced from these third party products are imported into an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD. When operating with the latest LightHouse II, LightHouse 3, or Dragonfly software, the following GPX file waypoint symbol attributes may be assigned to a waypoint:
