Documentation

The documentation for Overpass Ultra is available at overpass-ultra.us/docs

Overpass API allows to query for OSM data by your own search criteria. For this purpose, it has a specifically crafted query language: Overpass QL

In addition to regular Overpass API queries one can use {{bbox}} to specify the bounding box coordinates of the current map view.

Various aspects of Overpass Ultra, such as styling and the Overpass API server to use, can be configured via YAML front-matter.

Overpass Ultra supports styling using the MapLibre Style Specification.

See the Styling section for more information.

Overpass Ultra is built by Daniel Schep.

While Overpass Ultra has been in development for a while, it should still be considered experimental.
