Overpass-Turbo query for viewing administrative boundaries
Raw
overpass-turbo-admin-boundaries-query.js
/*
This is an example Overpass query to view administrative boundaries.
1. Visit the OpenStreetMaps wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative) and see which levels are present for your country. If admin_level = N/A, that level is missing.
2. Go to http://overpass-turbo.eu and centre the map on the country of interest.
3. Delete the text on the left side of the overpass-turbo page and replace with the contents of this file
4. Edit the admin_level to the level you want to check - in the example above, the "admin_level" = "8". Press 'Run' to highlight and outline all boundaries for that level.
If you run a query for an admin_level that is N/A, you will receive the following message:
This map intentionally left blank. (received empty dataset)
Try it out by pressing the Run button above!
You can find more examples with the Load tool.
