    99JOSM is a Java program, and comes in a .jar file.  If you don't know how to start it, ask someone familiar with your platform how to run a Java program.

    11 When JOSM starts up, it presents you with a few messages about recent changes in JOSM.  Your next step should be to download some data.  If you have a GPX file (downloaded from your GPS receiver) for the area of interest, load it into JOSM (File/Open).  That will show you the area of the GPX file.  Click on the green down arrow [[JosmImage(download)]] to fetch the data from openstreetmap.org.

    1313An alternative is to download existing GPX points from the OSM server.  In order to start this process you will need to know the latitude  and longitude coordinates of the relevant area.  The easiest way to do this is to visit the [http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html map] and to zoom in to the area you are interested in, then to move the mouse over the View tab, and copy the resulting link.  You will need to have zoomed in to a fairly small area, in residential areas where there is a lot of existing OSM activity you will need to be at a zoom level of 12, other less dense areas will probably be able to be downloaded at zoom level 14.  Once you have copied the OSM link ( which will look something like {{{http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?lat=50.687181128986&lon=-1.0795289310465817&zoom=14}}}) you can then paste this into the "URL from open streetmap.org box on the JOSM [wiki:Help/Action/Download download option].
