Query shortcuts
In order to allow for querying Overpass with the extents of the MapLibre viewport, Ultra
replaces any occurences of {{bbox}}
in the query with the bounding box in the format expected by
the Overpass API.
For example:
[bbox:{{bbox}}];
nwr[shop];
out center;
Other formats
If you need to specify your bounding box in a different format, for example for an HTTP GeoJSON API or Postpass, you can specify just the specific lat/lon vaulues or a comma-delimited set of values.
Short form
The short form is wrapped it double curly braces and consists of a string of one or more of the
letters n
/s
/e
/w
which corespond to the north/south-most latitudes and east/west-most
longitudes.
This means you can use simple 1-character shortcuts like:
{{s}}
{{n}}
{{e}}
{{w}}
Or a longer string like {{wsen}}
which is equivalent to {{w}}{{s}}{{e}}{{n}}
.
Long form
The original long form of he individual min and max of both latitude and longitude are also available:
{{south}}
{{north}}
{{east}}
{{west}}
