# How to get Bounding Box

Bounding Box is to describe a particular area of a map (Southwestern and Northeastern of the area) in which you want to support to find the nearest store. The bounding box can spread over 1 or more countries. If no bounding box is entered, the default value will be the bounding for USA (-171.791110603, 18.91619, -66.96466, 71.3577635769). To find the bounding box of your area, please preference to these links: [GitHub ](https://gist.github.com/graydon/11198540)or [Klokan Tech](https://boundingbox.klokantech.com/).

### Quick Bounding Box Figure

If you want to quickly get the Bounding Box of one country, you can go to [GitHub](https://gist.github.com/graydon/11198540) , search the country code such as US for United States, VN for Vietnam.

Let's say I have stores in both Vietnam and Japan, so I want the bounding box to cover the both countries. So zoom out the map, drag to the area.&#x20;

You should see the yellow corner box on the screen from the start. Drag it and zoom it to cover the area of your stores.&#x20;

On the bottom left corner, select the CSV format from the dropdown, then copy the value in the text block it shows to the bounding box settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://halosoft.gitbook.io/ella-documentation/~/changes/ya8CSeFxwPyu94dBt1WL/page/find-a-store/how-to-get-bounding-box.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
