It would be nice to get more info on right click besides address details. I dont know OSM much, but I think many collaborators to OSM enter information like working schedules for commerces, museums, public institutions, etc, and some more utile information; so this info is supposed to be available to retrieve by OSM compatible apps, no? Would be nice to have some «Site info» with these data.
Besides, another submenu like «POI near here» or something similar to that «Nearby» search in  Google Maps, so users can find interesting places, metro/bus stops, farmacies, etc, would be very utile too.

We address that with the (currently still experimental) Vector OSM map. Hopefully a first version is ready in August/September. I'll attach a screenshot of the Android version which extracts some information already and will become much more polished soon.

Great to know!
The screenshot looks promising. That's exactly the type of utile information I was thinking of; well, I hope in future versions it will progressively include a bit more: business hours, website and email or other contact info, if available, "nearby" search, etc. But yes, it's a gret beginning. :)
When I asked for these features I was thinking on the desktop version, but I suppose that improvements will be implemented in both, right?

Thanks for answering. I'll be on the lookout for next Marble releases. :)
