[HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore

Hi,


A quick but dirty workaround


1. Load task in iD

2. return to Task on TM, go back to 'edit with' and select JOSM

3. You will get an error message about JOSM remote control, but it will 
give you access to a section of the JOSM menu

4. From the section that reads "/Tip: Download the following .gpx file 
<http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2442/task/211.gpx> and load it in JOSM 
in order to see the current task boundary" /right click on /".gpx file" 
/and select /"Save link as" -/ I put mine in my downloads folder. /
/

4. Back to the iD /tab in your browser, and have file manager open as 
well - drag & drop the downloaded .gpx file onto the window of ID -- 
then wait.../

5. If all goes well you now have the square on your iD screen./It took a 
while to load on my setup & a message about waiting or closing appeared 
- but it has loaded each time I've tried.
/

/

/I'll try to put together a quick howto with images on LearnOSM and make 
it downloadable. Feedback as to whether this works for everyone would be 
appreciated in case I have to make amendments./

Regards


Nick
