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

Hi,

on which GPS can you search for labels? My nuvis and Dakota don't find 
labels. Mapsource and BaseCamp seems to support lables, when you look 
for "all POIs", but that's rather limited use for this feature.

I'm designing map for cars. My goal is to create small map without TYP 
file. Lables 0x28xx seems to be the only object, which uses small text, 
which seems perfect for house numbers. I'd like to use it but I can't 
accept 15-20% increase of map size because of search, which doesn't work 
on target device.

Option for label search would be OK, but somehow I think, that default 
value should be "no search".

Side note: I think devices support wider range of types for search. Not 
only types 0x64xx-0x66xx are searchable but also many types over 
0x100xx. With more types to choose, you can drop labels and use 
something else instead.
