https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.
Tbh, I am a little skeptical about using this. Specifications in areas where satellite imagery is not so good.
I generally only map in places where I am or have been but I definitely would be careful about using it in places with bad imagery.
AI stuff aside, the tool is so so much faster than iD it's kinda crazy.
As someone who exclusively uses iD to edit, can you please expand on how exactly RapiD is faster than iD? The AI features seem decent but what else is faster?
Thanks :)
Maybe it's just that my computer is slow but it seems much faster for scrolling around the map.
