Can we include more address information on the results for searches?
 
Ideally the search results would also include the road, suburb and postcode.

For example, there are a lot of Foo stores near me. If I do a search for Foo then it shows ten stores and the distance and direction. However I can't tell which is the correct store since one
might be 10km at direction angle 90 and another store at 9.9km at angle 85. Including extra address details would simplify finding the correct store.

Yes, this is 'must be' feature. Below is example of search results 'paczkomat' query near my location. I can't find that one I'm searching for because, I don't know what address is for each one of search result. Please, change it! :) Thanks!

I back this request, especially as the tiny direction arrows are (for me at least) too small to be any use.

Is anybody thinking about this feature? It is annoying to find right place from search results.

It's been repeatedly raised with the developers, so I hope they _might_ be thinking about it! Eg:

(Sorry if this is obvious, but note that the search seems to work outwards from the centre of the current map view, so if you want to search somewhere far from your current location, get it on the map first. And maybe then "View on Map" for the search results.)
