It is the most popular[2]and the default editor on the main OSM page.[3][4]iD's features include choosing custom aerial imagery and native support forMapillaryphotos.

History
[edit]Prior to iD, the primary web editor for OpenStreetMap data was the Flash-basedPotlatch2 editor. The iD editor project was founded by the author of Potlatch 1 and 2, Richard Fairhurst, online on July 13, 2012 and at the State of the Map conference on October 14, 2012.[5]
In September 2012, theKnight Foundationannounced the winners of the Knight News Challenge: Data competition. The team from Development Seed/Mapbox was selected as a winner for their proposal to develop new contribution tools for OpenStreetMap, and awarded a grant of $575,000.[6][7]
This editor was meant to be aPotlatch 2architecture reimplementation in JavaScript with redesigned user interface. The only big internal change was departure fromXMLtagging preset architecture to aJSON-based one.[5]
In 2013,[8]iD became the default editor on OSM.org making it the most used OSM editor by changeset count.[9][3]
Forks
[edit]iD has spawned several forks for specialized use cases. In 2018, Facebook created RapiD, with provided access to machine learning–generated roads and buildings under the name MapWithAI, which users could verify before uploading to OSM.[10]In 2023, RapiD was renamed Rapid and MapWithAI renamed Rapid Assist.
