OSMInfo is a QGIS plugin that queries OpenStreetMap data for any clicked point and returns all features at that location – administrative boundaries, infrastructure, points of interest, and more – grouped into nearby and enclosing results. No source data needs to be loaded in advance.

This demo shows one specific workflow: using OSMInfo to select country boundaries and save them into an existing QGIS layer, then syncing that layer to a shared NextGIS Web map via NextGIS Connect – all without leaving QGIS.
