This is how you download vectorial OSM data for your QGIS map

How to import OSM vectorial data into QGIS

Follow the steps:

  1. Go to https://www.openstreetmap.org and log in
  2. On the right, open the layer menu and check the public GPS trace
  3. On the top-left corner click on "Export"
  4. Enter the coordinates
  5. Click on Export button
  6. Open the file with a text editor
  7. Copy and paste the content in http://osm.dumoulin63.net/osm2kml/
  8. Copy the converted content to a kml file
  9. Open the kml file with QGIS

There is an alternative to that, see here: http://learnosm.org/en/osm-data/osm-in-qgis/

That's it!
