Hi Gerd, ideally I was looking for a solution  where we had something like 
mkgmap:noindex in the style to cause the label to be omitted from the index. I 
had a look at implementing this but came unstuck because as far as I can tell, 
the code that adds the index creates this from data that it reads back from the 
img file, which of course doesn't contain any mkgmap specific information.

There are a number of cases where mkgmap:noindex would be useful:

In the case where highway shields are used, I would prefer not to include the 
road number in the address index, so that when you type "A" you just get road 
names beginning with A, instead of A1, A11, A135 etc.
I allow (walking) routing along piers, the edges of carparks and other 
non-highways. If these have names, they also get included as road names in the 
address index and I would prefer to omit them.

I came up with the -- omit-highway-refs-from-index code as an alternative that 
achieved something of what I wanted, but if you can suggest a way to do this 
from the style, that would be better.

Regards,
Mike
