[OSM-dev] Overpass xapi map/bbox query broken?

[Sebastian Kürten]

Hi,

it seems that the XAPI compatibility map/bbox query does not work
anymore the way it is described in the wiki[1]. When I query the
example from there[2], I get this error message:

  Error in [map?bbox=7.1,51.2,7.2,51.3]:
  Error: Query must start with 'node', 'way', 'relation', or '*'

It used to work before, so I think eiter the API is broken at the
moment and should be fixed, or if this is a permanent issue and the
query is not supported anymore, then we should update the wiki
accordingly. Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,
Sebastian
