My OSM map has a post office on the same point as a shop. (Correct - it is the same building and the same person both sells groceries and handles mail. A common setup when the place is too small for a full-time post office.)

Navit shows the post icon only, not the shop. Zooming doesn't help with exact overlapping. Using a bigger shop icon didn't help either. Consider displaying a "string of icons" in such a case, similiar to how a word is displayed as a string of letters.

Currently not possible using the current binfile format. I'm rescheduling the ticket.

I see 2 solutions here:

• clone the node, displace them and apply only one feature at a time - maybe difficult to handle cloned addresses etc...
• introduce the mentioned "string of icons" - this is more complex (binfile related) but might result in nice visualisation. Maybe a overlay is usable, too

As this is still a bug, but occurs only on very POIs (and isn't solved at official OSM map servers, too), I will send it the next major release 0.6
