Hello.

Unfortunately, Online Maps cannot work with such files.
You will need to implement reading and displaying of this data yourself.

Re: Show .OSM file on screen

I've never worked with OSM files, so my recommendations will be generic for unknown file formats.

First of all you need to understand what the file contains.
After a bit of googling I found that it can contain XML, JSON or PBF.
Accordingly, depending on the content you need to load it differently and work with the data differently.

OK, you've loaded the data, now you need to understand what the data contains.
Possible options:
* Lines and polygons you have to draw using Drawing API.
* Texts (e.g. object names) you should display using TextMeshPro.
* Some other elements should be displayed in their own way.
