No Interstate or US Hwy Symbols

Hoping someone out there can explain this.  So i'm trying to improve my maps and make the interstates have the shield as well as the US Hwys.  Here is a sample from the mp file:
[POLYLINE]
Data0=(33.658058,-107.095794),(33.658102,-107.095731),(33.658565,-107.095055),(33.658599,-107.095006),(33.659987,-107.093034),(33.660111,-107.092855),(33.660622,-107.092119)
Label=~[0x2a]25
Type=0x01
[END]

However, as you can see in this picture from BaseCamp it doesn't seem to work:

The I-25 is shown as *25 and the US Hwy 380 is shown as +380.

Ideas?

My dictionary header has:
LBLcoding=6
Codepage=1252

Since you are using CodePage=1252, LBLcoding=6 is probably ignored and cGPSmapper is using other codes for shields, try ~[0x01] and ~[0x02] instead of ~[0x2a],  ~[0x2b]. Or remove CodePage=1252.

BTW hex code 0x2a = '*' and 0x2b = '+'

Good call; based on your suggestion I read the cgpsmapper directions.

Turns out I had to change LBLcoding=9 (left the codepage=1252 because that allows lowercase letters) then also switched my shields to ~[0x01] and ~[0x02].  I'll be updating the default dictionary that comes with the tutorial to allow for this and also adjusting the tutorial to automatically handle interstates and US Hwys.
