>        - 0x28xx (no category ?)
>        - 0x64xx .. 0x66xx (attractions)
>        This option allows to exclude POI types from the index.
>        The exclueded types are not indexed, but may still be searchable on a device

>        firmware 5.00 only seems to use it for city search.
>        If you device finds a POI name like 'Planet' when you search for 'Net'
>        it doesn't use the index because the index created by mkgmap cannot help for
>        that search.
>        So, this option may help when you care about the size of the index or the
>        memory that is needed to calculate it.
>        The option expects a comma separated list of types or type ranges. A range is
>        given with from-type-to-type, e.g. 0x6400-0x6405. First and last type are both
>        excluded.A range can span multiple types, e.g. 0x6400-0x661f.
>        Examples for usage:
>        - Assume your style adds a POI with type 0x2800 for each addr:housenumber.
>                It is not useful to index those numbers, so you can use

>                to exclude this.
>        - For the mentioned Oregon you may use --poi-excl-index=0x2a00-0x661f
