A Festivus-themed post from @bhousel about our latest release! Rapid 2.5 is out now at https://t.co/Hhl46r1JwK.
Highlights include: new footways, Overture Places, an updated rendering engine, and more.
🌎 Overture Places
Another Festivus miracle! @OvertureMaps Places is an open dataset of over 50M places - We’ve added this data to Rapid as a read-only preview to make it easier to contribute missing businesses and points-of-interest to @openstreetmap

Thank you to everyone using Rapid to map sidewalks in NYC. We're 46% of the way there. It's a large area, but we've made huge progress for pedestrians.

Rapid continues to improve the functionality of footway mapping.
In Tempe, AZ, NYC, and Washington, DC new sidewalk data is getting mapped "rapidly"!

🚨Urgent: The earthquake in Morocco has left a devastating impact, with over 2,900 lives lost & more than 5,500 injured. The numbers continue to rise, & many affected areas remain unmapped.
Thank you to all mappers, validators, & donors who have supported this mapping project 📣
19.2 has just been released to the playstore. #OpenStreetMap see https://t.co/bQy4z1vWPf
Expect another release this year with some actual changes, PMTiles support is already done and, time permitting there will a few further new features.
@MapMakinMeyers Stand by as we try to load more footprint sources, but for current building requests these are sourced from Microsoft so request here: https://t.co/6dQD6kAjXG

the @mapwithrapid@openstreetmap editor now has bring-your-own-data via pmtiles urls
create a reference from datasets like @OvertureMaps -> store it in a single blob on s3 -> enhance OSM!
@MapMakinMeyers Excellent idea! There has been some discussion about whether it's possible to show alternative buildings from open data/AI, and let a user choose to replace some goemerru while maintaining version history. TBD!
🗓️📍Save the dates! 🗺️ @sotmbr2023 is on the horizon with a unique blend of in-person and online experiences! Join in person in Curitiba from October 2-4, or kickstart your learning early with a virtual pre-event on September 30th!
