Geocoding api return 400 error 'FilterBBox' must have more southwesterly position before more northeasterly position.

Question

Hi  I'm getting a 400 bad request error with POST /places/v0/indexes//search/suggestions with the following request playload:

```
{
"Text":"Auckland","MaxResults":10,
 "FilterCountries":null,
 "FilterBBox":[166.2890625,-47.4578085307503,-169.096590380423,-34.1105560631211]
}
```
I initially tried [166.2890625,-47.4578085307503,190.903409619577,-34.1105560631211] and that returned another error 'FilterBBox[2]' must be between -180 and 180.  Thus I had convert 190.903409619577 to -169.096590380423.

Please advise.

Accepted Answer

Amazon Location Service currently has a limitation regarding a BBox that crosses the 180 degree mark. It looks like your BBox is the country of NZ. Can you use the FilterCountries option instead?

Answer

Thanks for your reply. Our application allows user to choose the map bounds. However the targetted usages will be in New Zealand and Australia so I will work around this by clamping to 180 degree max for now (which is sufficient to cover NZ) .

Is this limitation documented somewhere that I have missed?
