I've just checked this with Garmin Zumo. Right. The device allows points with 
same name. BUT Garmins POI Loader creates points like WPT, WPT1, WPT2. And 
this was the basic rule for the development.

I don't know how many people are using our gpi target. So I won't change the 
default behaviour. In next days I'll add a module option which allows 
non-unique names.
