  For me it's the routemap problem - how to represent multiple routes
  sharing the same street/line/etc, for example bus routes, named or
  numbered cycle routes, or metro lines (like the shared section of
  the Central and District lines in London).  The expected
  traditional solution to this is toothpaste stripes - the colours of
  each route running alongside each other, but I don't know of a
  renderer that can do this automatically.

  I'd also like a quick and easy way to render printable streetmaps
  with street and point of interest indexes refering to an overlaid
  grid.
  
  I'm not sure if either of these fit your question!
