<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Georgia">Greetings, David.<br>
I followed your instructions and I am making some progress. I
now have two categories with individual symbologies for the Mile
Marker point layer.<br>
However, there seems to be a problem with my CSV file or
something else. The layer is not displaying the first </font><font
face="Georgia">Mile Marker</font><font face="Georgia"> point and
I cannot see why.<br>
The first point displayed is M2, not M1.<br>
<br>
Here are the beginning entries in the CSV file<br>
<br>
Lat Long Mile Style<br>
-79.92445 39.70958 M 1 1<br>
-79.936296 39.698546 M 2 1<br>
-79.939802 39.68499 M 3 1<br>
-79.958298 39.683171 M 4 2<br>
<br>
<br>
The layer does not display M1. The first point displayed is M2.<br>
I verified M1 coordinates are correct.<br>
<br>
There are screen shots here:<br>

<br>
Any idea of what the problem might be.<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><font face="Georgia">You can style
markers differently, even if they are in the same layer. I
would add a new integer column to the CSV file "style". Points
that are to receive the same styling get the same integer
value. For example, red markers are 1, blue are 2, etc. Or
square are 1, round are 2, etc. Then in the
properties->symbolize tab, select "Categorized" for the
styling method, and select the new style field for value. Then
set the style for each category.<br>
</font> <font face="Georgia"><br>
I think this approach has two advantages:<br>
1. Easier import of the point<br>
2. Better control over grouping points with similar styling.<br>

There are probably other, perhaps more powerful ways that
someone else can suggest. <br>
