About
Map With AI is a service that uses AI to help the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community map more efficiently. It uses the RapiD editor, an enhanced version of the iD editor, to predict roads from satellite imagery and populate them in the tool. This speeds up the mapping process and improves data quality. Human validation is required for all AI-generated roads. The tool is open to everyone with an OSM account and is designed to assist in disaster response areas and underserved communities.

FAQs
What is Map with AI?
Map With AI is a service designed to help the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community by facilitating mappers with AI-generated features through the RapiD Editor, helping achieve faster mapping speed and higher data quality. It is publicly available at <https://mapwith.ai>.
Who can use it?
The <https://mapwith.ai> website is open to everyone. However, users do need to have an official OSM account to use our tools and follow the OSM mapping guidelines when contributing to OSM.
Where can the OSM community go to access the tool?
You can access the RapiD editor through the “Start Mapping” links at <https://mapwith.ai/>.
What is RapiD Editor?
The RapiD editor is an enhancement of the iD editor, with added road-mapping features and integrity checks.
Why does facebook develop the RapiD editor while there is already the iD editor available to the community?
The RapiD editor is an enhancement of the current iD tool, so the user experience will be the same with added road-mapping features and integrity checks.
How does Map with AI work?
Using artificial intelligence it predicts features on high-resolution satellite imagery, then they get populated in our RapiD map editing tool.
In which countries is Map With AI available?
Check [Available Countries](https://github.com/facebookmicrosites/Open-Mapping-At-Facebook/wiki/Available-Countries) for our currently supported areas.
Has anyone outside of Facebook tried or tested Map With AI?
Yes, we have been testing with partners for months to gather feedback and fix bugs.
Are there any limitations with AI?
While AI is efficient and continues to improve, human mappers are essential to review and manually input anything missed. However, we are excited by the possibilities of AI for tackling challenges in the future such as assigning tags according to OSM region-specific guidelines or building OSM relations for complex features.
Is human validating required for adding roads to OSM?
Yes, every single road from the AI output will be added only after human validation. Mappers must manually select a road to OSM from the RapiD layer so every road will receive human attention. Our additional validation checks then help to ensure that common data errors from our RapiD roads are flagged for the editor to fix.
How can Map with AI improve road mapping for certain communities?
We can take advantage of this technology to aid communities around the world in disaster response areas and where people are still unconnected. For example, in August of 2018, Kerala, India experienced a severe flooding event that covered much of the state and affected millions. To aid in the response, the local OSM community reached out to Facebook for assistance mapping out missing roads in the affected areas using our machine learned data. Within a few days of getting the data prepared, the team of 34 mappers from Facebook was able to import over 21500 roads into the map.
The map and AI roads are not loading for me on Firefox. Is there a workaround?
We have received a couple of reports for such issue and found it could be related to some ad blockers on Firefox. See [here](https://github.com/facebookincubator/RapiD/issues/5) for a possible workaround.
How can I track RapiD changesets?
All RapiD changesets will include the tag “created_by - RapiD 0.9.0” (or current version number) and assuming the default imagery isn’t changed “imagery_used - Facebook's Map With AI - Maxar Imagery”.
Why do you put a “source” tag on every AI-generated road?
We have been asked by community members before to identify data coming from Facebook services in finer granularity than changeset, so we decided to also tag every AI-generated road. This can be helpful in some cases; e.g. when a RapiD changeset contains both AI-generated roads and manual changes on other map features.
Is all RapiD data open source?
All data provided through RapiD is open source under the MIT license.
