Download data from Overpass API.

Usage

1. Optional: Use the Overpass Turbo wizard (the first text box) to generate a query. See ​Overpass_turbo/Wizard for its syntax and features.
2. Enter or modify the generated Overpass query. See ​Overpass_API/Overpass_QL for its syntax.
3. Choose the Overpass server.
4. If {{geocodeArea}} is part of the query, it will be evaluated. If {{bbox}} is part of the query, then you need to choose the area to download in the map below. If none of them is present, then it will search and download global.
5. Click on Download.

• Click on the arrow right beside the query text box, to open a list with recently used queries.
