Waypoint symbol name display

Now (in Basecamp 4.3.4) when selecting or changing a Waypoint symbol upon first mousing over a symbol in the choose box drop down one is presented with an alphanumeric identifier, e.g., IDS_GDB_40. However, if you examine the resulting symbol entry in the GPX file you will see that it is "<sym>Shipwreck</sym>" which I assume is the name of the associated glyph.

I would like to suggest that you either include the glyph name in addition to the alphanumeric identifier on the mouse over or make it in lieu of the alphanumeric identifier. Or, perhaps, just make the alphanumeric identifier show if some modifier key is pressed, e.g., control, option, or command during the mouse over.

It might also help in eliminating any confusion between IDS_GDB_29 and IDS_GDB_110 where the former's glyph is a gas pump and the latter's is a gas pump with a plus sign in the base of the pump. In a GPX file they are referred to respectively as "Gas Station" and "Convenience Store"
