Ingemar,

Thanks&nbsp;for&nbsp;your&nbsp;post&nbsp;and&nbsp;questions.  
&nbsp;  
I&nbsp;am&nbsp;afraid&nbsp;I&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;agree&nbsp;with&nbsp;your&nbsp;option&nbsp;completely&nbsp;here.&nbsp;I&nbsp;added&nbsp;5&nbsp;points&nbsp;into&nbsp;a&nbsp;InmemoryFeatureLayer,&nbsp;all&nbsp;of&nbsp;them&nbsp;will&nbsp;be&nbsp;drawn&nbsp;even&nbsp;though&nbsp;I&nbsp;enlarge&nbsp;its&nbsp;symbol&nbsp;size&nbsp;to&nbsp;make&nbsp;it&nbsp;overlap&nbsp;obviously.&nbsp;Following&nbsp;is&nbsp;basicly&nbsp;the&nbsp;code&nbsp;snippet&nbsp;for&nbsp;my&nbsp;case:  
`winformsMap1.MapUnit = GeographyUnit.DecimalDegree; winformsMap1.CurrentExtent = new RectangleShape(0, 100, 100, 0);winformsMap1.BackgroundOverlay.BackgroundBrush = new GeoSolidBrush(GeoColor.StandardColors.White); InMemoryFeatureLayer inMemoryLayer = new InMemoryFeatureLayer();inMemoryLayer.InternalFeatures.Add("Point1", new Feature(10, 10));inMemoryLayer.InternalFeatures.Add("Point2", new Feature(30, 10));inMemoryLayer.InternalFeatures.Add("Point3", new Feature(30, 30));inMemoryLayer.InternalFeatures.Add("Point4", new Feature(10, 30));inMemoryLayer.InternalFeatures.Add("Point5", new Feature(20, 20)); inMemoryLayer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultPointStyle.SymbolSize = 60;inMemoryLayer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultPointStyle.SymbolPen = new GeoPen(GeoColor.FromArgb(255, GeoColor.StandardColors.Green), 8);inMemoryLayer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.ApplyUntilZoomLevel = ApplyUntilZoomLevel.Level20; LayerOverlay staticOverlay = new LayerOverlay();staticOverlay.Layers.Add("InMemoryFeatureLayer", inMemoryLayer);winformsMap1.Overlays.Add(staticOverlay); winformsMap1.Refresh();`  
&nbsp;  
Could&nbsp;you&nbsp;show&nbsp;me&nbsp;some&nbsp;of&nbsp;your&nbsp;codes&nbsp;to&nbsp;see&nbsp;your&nbsp;problem?  
&nbsp;  
Any&nbsp;more&nbsp;questions&nbsp;just&nbsp;feel&nbsp;free&nbsp;to&nbsp;let&nbsp;me&nbsp;know.  
&nbsp;  
Thanks.  
&nbsp;  
Yale
