Hello,

The easiest way to fix this is to change your data by inserting a new first row that contains column names (e.g., X Y NAME) with the names separated by the same delimiter as the rest of the file uses (tab, in your case, as indicated in your subject line).  The name of the column that you want to be used as the label should be "NAME".  Global Mapper will automatically use this attribute as the name.  On the import options screen, make sure that you put a check next to "Include attributes from lines with coordinate data" and "Column headers in first row of file".

If you can't change the data, then after you load your data:

1. Open the Overlay Control Center
2. Select your layer and click the Options... button
3. On the Feature Types/Labels/Elevations tab under Set up Feature Label Display, choose "Use Selected Attribute Value for Name" and then pick the name of your attribute (might be ATTR1, since your file does not have a header.)

Cheers,

Bob
