When the solution runs, the MapsOSM Control displays the selected map provider’s map. Users can interact with the map, zoom in and out, and view tooltips if enabled. The initial position is set based on the configured latitude and longitude. Marker settings, if configured, display markers with specified dimensions. The control’s name allows access in the CodeBehind script for further customization.
In an industrial setting, a user might use the MapsOSM to monitor the geographic distribution of assets, such as machinery or vehicles. For instance, a logistics company can display real-time locations of its fleet on a map. The user configures the control by selecting the map provider, setting the initial position, and enabling markers to represent each vehicle. When the solution runs, the map shows the current positions of the fleet, allowing the user to track movements and optimize routes. The control’s name allows access in the CodeBehind script for further customization.
