Using coordinate and radius instead of a bounding box


My current queries look like this:

[out:json]
[timeout:60]
;
(

relation
["type"="multipolygon"]
["landuse"~"brownfield|railway"]
(50.757310,6.054754,50.786730,6.111574);

way
["landuse"~"brownfield|railway"]
(50.757310,6.054754,50.786730,6.111574);

);
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

I would like to replace the bounding box by one coordinate and a radius, similiar to querying nodes around another node.

node["name"="Bonn"];
node
  (around:1000)
  ["name"="Gielgen"];
out body;

Is this possible?


Solution

  • I was able to accomplish that using (around:radius,lat,lon). The radius appears to be given in meters.

    A simple example:

    node(around:1000.0,50.75,6.05)["historic"="wayside_cross"];
    out;
    

    Applied to your query:

    [out:json]
    [timeout:60]
    ;
    (
    
    relation
    (around:1000,50.77675,6.07456)
    ["type"="multipolygon"]
    ["landuse"~"brownfield|railway"];
    
    way
    (around:1000,50.77675,6.07456)
    ["landuse"~"brownfield|railway"];
    
    );
    out body;
    >;
    out skel qt;
