 The easiest case to start with is where you have your own GPX track of a route saved on your own computer.   Use menu option Files > Open to load the GPX file into JOSM.  You will then see in the [wiki:Help/MapView main map view] window a series of dots representing your GPX track.
 
-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 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 bale 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].
