How to use OSM's POIs

[bronger]

Let's assume I stand in the middle of a foreign city and look for a restaurant.  I have opened Locus with an OSM-generated vector map.  I'd like to see a list with all restaurants which are marked as such on the OSM map, in order of their distance from my current location.

Is this possible in Locus?  If not, how do I get close to it?  How do you solve this usecase?

That's exactly the question I had already in mind.

Any suggestions?
