advanced symbology

Advanced symbology is the set of conventions, rules, or encoding systems that define how to represent on a map geographic features or other items of interest (such as airplane routes) that are more complex than a simple point, line, or polygon. The advanced symbology category includes the following:

  • Geodesics
  • Features symbolized with symbol dictionaries, such as those that adhere to military specifications (for example, symbols defined in specifications such as MIL-STD-2525C)
