Sam,

1. Tasking Manager - obtain your square,
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 .......'
3. click on download file & make a note where you put it.
4. Tasking Manager - using the dropdown list, change from JOSM to 'Potlatch 2' - this will open in a new tab, 5. Potlatch 2, select Background / Vector File - use the menu to load the gpx file you downloaded. 6. Make sure there is a tick in the 'show' column before you close the window down. 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.

Any feedback on this process appreciated - if there are any experts on Potlatch who have better guidance, please supply it.

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.

Good luck & thank you for persevering. Life moves on so quickly it's sometimes difficult to keep the manual up to date.

Regards

Nick
