[mkgmap-dev] POI indexing, problem with label 0x2800

Hi,

POI types 0x28xx are usually treated as labels, there is no icon for 
these POIs, only label text. CGPSMapper doc describe these POI as 
"Region name".

I'd like to use these POI for house numbers. Problem is, that mkgmap 
indexes labels! It results in big increment of img files and index file. 
I doubt these objects are searchable, probably all this indexing is only 
a waste of space.

I have found code in MdrUtils.java, which adds labels to index. I think 
this can be removed. And maybe you can add POIs in range 0x64xx - 
0x66xx, they probably are searchable.

There is an increase in LBL subfile, I haven't found code responsible 
for this. There seems to be a section LBL5 called "POI index", maybe 
labels goes there too?
