About
Rapid Editor is an advanced map editing tool that integrates authoritative geospatial open data and cutting-edge AI technology to assist OpenStreetMap (OSM) mappers. It revolutionizes map editing by empowering users at all levels to make accurate and fresh edits quickly. The tool saves effort by leveraging open data and AI-predicted features from high-resolution satellite imagery to automatically draw map geometry, particularly roads. AI-analyzed satellite imagery also provides a high-level overview of unmapped and missing data globally. Developed by Facebook's World.AI team as an enhancement to the iD editor, Rapid Editor facilitates faster mapping speeds and higher data quality for the OSM community by offering AI-generated features and additional data integrity checks. Every AI-generated road requires human validation to ensure quality. It also includes features like automated connection logic and various validation checks to improve mapping accuracy and efficiency.

FAQs
What is Map with AI?
Map With AI is a service for the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community, facilitating mappers with AI-generated features via the RapiD Editor for faster mapping and higher data quality.
Who can use it?
The website is open to everyone, but users need an official OSM account and must follow OSM mapping guidelines when contributing.
Where can the OSM community go to access the tool?
The RapiD editor can be accessed through the "Start Mapping" links on the Map With AI website.
What is RapiD Editor?
RapiD Editor is an enhanced version of the iD editor by Facebook's World.AI team, helping mappers work efficiently by auto-detecting roads from satellite imagery and including data integrity checks.
Why does Facebook develop the RapiD editor while there is already the iD editor available to the community?
RapiD Editor is an enhancement of the existing iD tool, offering the same user experience with added road-mapping features and integrity checks.
How does Map with AI work?
Map With AI predicts features on high-resolution satellite imagery using AI, then populates them into the RapiD map editing tool.
In which countries is Map With AI available?
Check the "Available Countries" page on the GitHub wiki for currently supported areas.
Has anyone outside of Facebook tried or tested Map With AI?
Yes, it has been tested with partners for months to gather feedback and fix bugs.
Are there any limitations with AI?
AI is efficient but human mappers are essential for review and inputting missed features. AI has potential for future challenges like assigning tags and building OSM relations.
Is human validating required for adding roads to OSM?
Yes, every AI-generated road requires human validation. Mappers must manually select roads from the RapiD layer, and additional validation checks flag common data errors for fixing.
How can Map with AI improve road mapping for certain communities?
It can aid communities in disaster response and unconnected areas. For example, it helped map over 21,500 roads in Kerala, India, after severe flooding.
The map and AI roads are not loading for me on Firefox. Is there a workaround?
This issue might be related to ad blockers on Firefox. A possible workaround is available on the GitHub issue page.
How can I track RapiD changesets?
RapiD changesets include the tag “created_by - RapiD” (with version number) and “imagery_used - Facebook's Map With AI - Maxar Imagery” if default imagery is used.
Why do you put a “source” tag on every AI-generated road?
A "source" tag is added to every AI-generated road to identify data from Facebook services with finer granularity than just a changeset, aiding in data origin tracking.
Is all RapiD data open source?
Yes, all data provided through RapiD is open source under the MIT license.
