[hk80MinX] specifies the minimum value of HK1980 Easting to filter the output by a spatial extent (use HK1980 Grid coordinates).
[hk80MinY] specifies the minimum value of HK1980 Northing to filter the output by a spatial extent (use HK1980 Grid coordinates).
[hk80MaxX] specifies the maximum value of HK1980 Easting to filter the output by a spatial extent (use HK1980 Grid coordinates).
[hk80MaxY] specifies the maximum value of HK1980 Northing to filter the output by a spatial extent (use HK1980 Grid coordinates).
Response
The data will be returned in GML format based on “HK80” spatial reference system.
Note: The data will only be returned when the map extent as shown on the application is smaller than or equal to the size of 750m x 600m on ground, which is equal to standard size of 1:1000 (HP1C) topographic map tile.
Status Codes
This API uses the standard HTTP status code to indicate the status of the API request.
