Other tags refer to being on the left and right of the direction of way along the way. 18 19 20 19 21 == Launch JOSM == 20 22 JOSM is a Java program, can be run from the [wikitr:/Download#Recommendedoptions Download page]. 21 23 24 22 25 == Your first edit with JOSM == 23 24 26 === Welcome screen === 25 26 27 When JOSM starts, it presents you with a few messages about recent changes in JOSM.
