What is Rapid?
RapiD is a modified version of the popular OpenStreetMap editing tool,
iD , developed by Facebook as a way to add and edit map features generated by AI predictions. RapiD was initially designed as a tool to add roads, and has subsequently been used to add buildings as well. RapiD includes validation checks (in addition to checks within iD) to detect potential errors. RapiD suggests features, allowing the mapper to decide which features to add to the map. Suggested features are displayed with a magenta color to differentiate them from other map features. A mapper can select a suggested feature, then click “Use This Feature” to add it to the map. From there, it is like any other newly-digitized feature: the geometry and tags can be modified and then uploaded to OSM. Only features that are accepted by a mapper are uploaded to OSM.
