Paths
+Several aspects of GPXSee are controlled by data/configuration files + stored in either global(system) or user directories. The global paths to + those directories are as follows:
+ +| Windows: | +C:\Program Files\GPXSee\ | +
| Linux: | +/usr/share/gpxsee/ | +
| OS X: | +/Applications/GPXSee.app/Contents/Resources/ | +
User specific directories that - when present - override the global + directory have the following paths1:
+ +| Windows: | +%APPDATA%\GPXSee\ | +
| Linux: | +~/.local/share/gpxsee/ | +
| OS X: | +~/Library/Application Support/GPXSee/ | +
The expanded user specific paths, including the actual configuration + directories, are also accesible from the GPXSee "Help" menu.

+Waypoints that have a symbol name (GPX <sym> tag) defined

Maps
Two kinds of maps are supported by GPXSee - online maps and offline maps. You may either load them "ad hoc" from the GUI or they can be loaded - automatically at program startup from the following directory:
- -| Windows: | -C:\Program Files\GPXSee\maps | -
| Linux: | -/usr/share/gpxsee/maps | -
| OS X: | -/Applications/GPXSee.app/Contents/Resources/maps | -
User specific map directories that - when present - override the global - map directory are also supported. The paths are as - follows1:
- -| Windows: | -%APPDATA%\GPXSee\maps | -
| Linux: | -~/.local/share/gpxsee/maps | -
| OS X: | -~/Library/Application Support/GPXSee/maps | -
The map directory is recursively searched when loading the maps, so it - may contain an arbitrary directory structure.
