 == Your first edit with JOSM ==
 
-=== Starting JOSM ===
+=== First look ===
 
 When JOSM starts, it presents you with a few messages about recent changes in JOSM. You should have a look at this page from time to time as it keeps you informed on some of the more interesting changes.
 
+=== Downloading ===
+
 The next step is to download some data. You can practice using JOSM by downloading your neighbourhood or locality you know for you recently visited. 
 
-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. 
+==== OSM data ====
+Next, add data for that area from main server. Open the download dialog by clicking [[Image(source:trunk/images/download.png,middle,20,link=)]] [Help/Action/Download Download from OSM] ({{{Ctrl+Shift+↓}}}).
 
-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,20,middle,link=)]] to fetch the data from openstreetmap.org.
+"Slippy Map" tab will be displayed, a map of the world. But you need to select smaller area for your edit, not entire globe (thus you will see "Download are too large" message).
 
-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].
+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
+* click with the left mouse button to define an area. 
 
+After "Download are too large" error disappeared and you selected a region, click "Download" to fetch the data from main server.
