Matt, I haven't fully thought it through, but maybe the new Cluster functionality might work for this. You could have a generic park symbol for the cluster symbol.

EG at a park where I want to show an symbol for playground, toilet and picnic tables. The data for each of these items are individual point data items. I would like to ask mapserver, very kindly, to 'tile' nearby symbols into a group OR Use the main symbol like a label. So that I could have a dot where the play equipment is, then nearby have the symbol for the play equipment. This is obviously very easy to do with text, but is it possible with a symbol?? I have tried this CLASS EXPRESSION /play|playground/ NAME "Children's Playground" STYLE SYMBOL 'waypoint' color 255 0 0 SIZE 5 END LABEL STYLE SYMBOL '/var/www/osm/kml/icons/play.png' Size 10 END ...text styleing info.... END END I get my 'waypoint' dot and the play.png in the same location. I would like the play.png to be positioned AUTO like I can with text. Any ideas?? Thanks Matt :)
