Override global map style settings
Each ExpertGPS user creates their own map style by defining Types in the Waypoint, Route, and Track editors. As a result, a GPX file created on your computer may look different when opened on a friend's computer. If it is critical that your map be displayed the same way on all computers, check Override global map style settings.
