Thanks! So it seems you are saying that the bounding box represents a single point and is the same as the lat/lat lon? What if I make the bounding box bigger? What I am trying to do is geo queries against a bounding box made of a set of points, rather than individual points. So the query is, find the nodes where the given point falls inside their bounding boxes. Can I do this with REST?
