POI R Client Coordinate issue

openrouteservice

URL: Dashboard | ORS

I am currently using the R Client to gather information for Points of Interest across a city in the UK with the coordinates (52.4730,1.9826) to (52.4597,1.9617), but I am finding that all coordinates I enter provides results from the ocean.

I have tried swapping Lon,Lat etc as suggested.
I have GeoJSON files that I can use but I am not sure about the method to specify them through the Client.

Any comments appreciated.

You can find an example on how to query the POIs endpoint in the package vignette.

Cheers!
Andrzej

Hi @Jack_Batty , (52.4597,1.9617) is indeed in the ocean so there’s no ambiguity there. I wonder if you mean (52.4597,-1.9617) which is in Birmingham? Longitudes can be positive or negative depending on which side of the prime meridian they are. Likewise latitudes and the equator
