I started compiling some basic FM video tutorials. If you have ideas/requests for others, please let me know.

These are great! Just bought FM and these really help getting my head around the interface. Please continue with the tuts. Hopefully there will be some more advanced tuts soon, e.g. how to import own symbols.

You shouldn't need a video tutorial for that. You just copy the symbol files into whichever catalog folder you want to contain them. The folders are under:

x:\Programs\nbos\Mapper8\MapArt

where "x" is the hard drive with the FM8 installation.

If you want them in a new folder category, create a new folder with the desired name at that level and also copy the default.xml file from another symbol folder into it.

If this explanation is too complicated for you, download our free raster mapping tutorial for FM8 (PDF). It shows you with screen shots how to do this and also explains what's what with the default.xml file. You can get it at:
