About Overpass API GUI

Overpass API GUI, also titled overpass turbo, is a web-based graphical interface for querying OpenStreetMap data by map area through the Overpass API. It provides map-area placeholders such as {{bbox}} and {{center}}, date and style placeholders, example queries, and keyboard shortcuts. Its use depends on browser support for Web Storage API and cross-origin resource sharing (CORS), and some browsers may need cookies or local data enabled. Recent Opera, Chrome, and Firefox versions have been tested, and the Overpass API query form is mentioned as an alternative.
