A Festivus-themed post from @bhousel about our latest release! Rapid 2.5 is out now at rapideditor.org/edit.
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
