More than one symbol for one point

["Guillaume SUEUR (Géosignal)"]

Hi,
What I do to solve ths kind of problem is to render the symbols after
the map, with the addPoint method. I parse my data table after the map
is rendered and add my pins on it. I just need to have X and Y fields in
the data table, not even a true spatial one.
