As I said the 0xc value is not hardcoded in mkgmap, but contained in the
LocatorConfig.xml file.

In fact we do know some of the bits in the value:

0x8 is to show zip before city in POI address
0x4 is to show street name before street number

0x2 is for transparency, but that is handled elsewhere

0x1 is the bit you are interested in finding the meaning of. Unless it 
happens to control something that varies from country to country, it 
would of course be sensible to set it within mkgmap separately from the
LocatorConfig.xml file, just like the transparent bit is now.
