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>
Regards<br>
<br>
Nick<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also a newbie but with many years experience
in digital maps so trying to learn on the fly
but agree with Jon on disparate nature of info
and am happy to help with that. For now there is
one thing I can't find and maybe someone can
help me - some info on using plotlatch with the
task manager, for example i can't figure out how
to see if i'm still in my own tile except for a
visual check which is hard on busy tiles. is
there a way to check tile bounding box
coordinates in the task manager??</div>

<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> I am one of the newcomers. I am not a GIS scientist
& learnt
on the job and
am relatively
lightweight,
however I know
that I am
perfectly
capable of
making a
contribution
but the
(HOT)OSM
process is not
clear:<br>
<br>
As is
mentioned in
several
previous
posts*, there
is a lack of
guidance and
aims. <br>
<br>
I have spent
most of this
morning not
contributing
because I have
been trying to
find out what
to do &
how to do it.
I am not
stupid and if
I have missed
a link to
instructions,
then how many
other (willing
to learn)
people have?
As part of the
strategy to
maintain
quality,
surely the
signposts to
learning
should be
given great
prominence
& be
unmissable?<br>
<br>
Are the aims
of disaster
mapping
different to
those of other
mapping ? In
an
non-emergency
one can spend
some time
trying to work
out what a
feature's
properties
are. Also,
for example,
how to
interpret from
poor imagery
say a path or
track is it
suitable for
vehicles etc,
or whether to
even include
it.<br>
