      1. Tasking Manager - obtain your square,<br>
      2. Tasking Manager - select 'edit with JOSM' and under the words
      'edit with josm' you will see a line of text 'Tip:Download the
      following gpx file .......'<br>
      3. click on download file & make a note where you put it.<br>
      4. Tasking Manager - using the dropdown list, change from JOSM to
      'Potlatch 2' - this will open in a new tab,<br>
      5. Potlatch 2, select Background / Vector File - use the menu to
      load the gpx file you downloaded. <br>
      6. Make sure there is a tick in the 'show' column before you close
      the window down.<br>
      7. Potlatch should now display the boundary as a square - blue in
      my case. Potlatch will still download data outside the area, so be
      careful about watching for the boundary.<br>
      <br>
      Any feedback on this process appreciated - if there are any
      experts on Potlatch who have better guidance, please supply it. <br>
      <br>
      I'll add it to my ToDo list to get a section into LearnOSM &
      update the wiki, but I have got a lot of commitments over the next
      couple of weeks, so please have patience.<br>
      <br>
      Good luck & thank you for persevering.  Life moves on so
      quickly it's sometimes difficult to keep the manual up to date.<br>
      <br>
