 The next step is to download some data. If you have a GPX file (downloaded from your GPS receiver) for the area of interest, load it into JOSM using (File/Open). JOSM will display the area of the GPX file. 
 
-Next, add data for that area from openstreetmap.org. Open the download dialog by clicking on the green down arrow in the top tool bar or through the file menu. To select the area to download, first click on the "Slippy Map" tab at the top of the screen. A map of the world appears. To move around the map and select the specific area you want to download, there are several tools: Click with the right mouse button to drag the map, use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, and click with the left mouse button to define an area. Then, click on the green down arrow [[Image(source:trunk/images/download.png,middle)]] to fetch the data from openstreetmap.org.

 An 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 use the download dialogues slippy map in the first tab. [wiki:Help/Action/Download Read more on the download dialogue].

 Ways or nodes on their own are not of much use unless they are ''tagged'' to say what they represent. The Map Features web page [osmwiki:Map_Features Map Features] shows and explains the most used tags that could be used on a point or way. 
 
-The first step in adding tags is to be sure the [wiki:Help/Dialog/TagsMembership Tags/Membership Dialog] is open on the right hand side of JOSM. The [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/propertiesdialog.png,20,middle)]] button on the left should be highlighted. If it is not highlighted, click on it or hit `Alt+Shift+P`. You will see the Tags/Membership Dialog, which has three buttons: 1) [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/add.png,middle)]] '''Add''', 2) [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/edit.png,middle)]]'''Edit''' and 3) [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/delete.png,middle)]]'''Delete'''.

 To edit the properties of a node or way (such as adding a tag) in the Tags/Membership Dialog, the way or node must be selected. 
-1. Enter Select mode by clicking the first of the left-hand icons or hitting the "S" key.
-1. Highlight the way or point you wish to select. Click the [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/add.png,middle)]]'''Add''' button.
+1. Enter [wiki:Help/Action/Select Select mode] by clicking on [[Image(source:trunk/images/mapmode/move/move.png,20,middle)]] of the left-hand icons or hitting the {{{S}}} key.
+1. Highlight the way or point you wish to select. Click the [[Image(source:trunk/images/dialogs/add.png,20,middle)]]'''Add''' button.
 1. A [wiki:Help/Dialog/AddValue dialog box] will appear, and you will be asked to select a key and a value for each tag. Type in the key/value pair that represents the tag you are creating. For example, for the key, you might type "highway," and for the value "secondary" (no quotes).
 1. Click OK. You have now tagged your way. You can add several tags to one object.
 
+Instead of adding tags manually you can also use [wiki:Help/Menu/Presets Presets].

 == Uploading to OSM ==
-If you are happy with all that you have done then you must upload your work to the OSM server. Click on the green up arrow [[Image(source:trunk/images/upload.png,middle)]].

 JOSM will give you an overview of the elements that it is about to upload. You will be asked to provide a short text summary of your edits. This description will be saved with your data on the server and provides information, for example, for the [osmwww:history Recent Changes list].
