Description

Use-case: want to see details of a POI by clicking on the map

Current behaviour:

  • POI icon visible on map, but not clickable
  • search -> type in POI name (wait...)
  • possibly the search finds the POI, possibly it doesn't; if it does, details are shown.
    => slow, cumbersome, error prone, difficult if POI name rendered in non-native language/alphabet

Desired behaviour:

  • click on POI icon on map -> POI details are shown

Extended behaviour:

  • right-click on map -> show nearby POIs -> list of POIs near the click are shown ("near" might depend on zoom-level and number of nearby POIs)
    (useful if many POIs are crowded together)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating the map and POI interaction entry points, then confirm how a clicked POI should expose details and how nearby results should be presented; done means POI icons open details and the optional right-click nearby-POI flow has defined behavior.
