Cartography enthusiasts and professionals alike, your map editing experience is about to change dramatically. With the infusion of leading-edge technology comes the Rapid mapping tool—a comprehensive solution to modernize the process of creating and updating maps.
Starting a map from scratch can be challenging; however, Rapid drastically simplifies this process. By fusing together advanced mapping functionalities, authoritative geospatial open data, and state-of-the-art technology, Rapid equips mappers of all skill levels to initiate their cartographic journey with confidence and ease.
Gone are the days of tediously hand-drawing map geometry. The new Rapid editor leverages both open data sources and artificially intelligent predictions to significantly reduce the manual effort involved in detailed mapping. This feature allows you to focus more on perfecting your map, rather than just getting it started.
Imagine having a bird's-eye view of the earth, highlighting areas that have yet to be mapped or require updates. This vision is made a reality with Rapid's use of AI-analyzed satellite imagery. It effectively points out the regions across the globe that are in desperate need of attention from brilliant mappers like you.
Rapid is more than a mapping tool; it's a community-focused platform. It supports a wide array of mapping projects, many of which are headed by humanitarian and community groups. They utilize Rapid to assemble more comprehensive and current maps, which in turn, can have life-altering impacts in emergency situations and development projects.
