Hi! is it possible to show a small box that contains the description of a selected waypoint? Screenshot from 2024-08-06 17-03-00 like this example.

Thanks!

Version used: 3.1 windows build. KML file exported from GoogleEarth.

It won't be easy, as the mapsforge library, which is used for rendering, supports only a few basic overlays but no popup:

I had the feature for the removed Google Maps-based map but it suffered from performance problems, when there were more than 40 or 50 waypoints with popups – so I never implemented it with mapsforge.
