Tool Information

Rapid helps mappers draw and update map features using open datasets, predicted features identified from satellite imagery, and an accessible editing interface. It is used by humanitarian and community groups and links to OpenStreetMap, HOTOSM, Esri, community channels, support, and source code.

The official site offers Start Mapping and public source code without a paid subscription or checkout, so the listing is Free. Use of any underlying dataset remains subject to its own license and mapping rules.

AI detections are suggestions, not verified ground truth. Contributors must inspect imagery, local knowledge, tagging standards, conflicts, changesets, and OpenStreetMap community guidance before saving edits.
