# The OpenStreetMap Object

The OpenStreetMap Object gives you the ability to display your multidimensional data on an interactive map. This Object provides at-a-glance information about trends in a visual way, thanks to markers (Bubbles) and color conditional formatting.

Based on your data, Board automatically calculates the size of markers and their color can be dynamically configured or customized according to your preferences. The OpenStreetMap Object supports up to 20 different zoom detail levels.

## Examples

The following picture shows an OpenStreetMap Object with markers whose area represents Net Sales and color conditional formatting set on a target value.
