 ===== Using Rapid =====
+==== URL Parameters ====
 Probably the easiest way to start is by using the [[https://rapideditor.org/edit|Rapid]] editor. This assumes you know how to use the Rapid editor. You can save yourself a URL with a few custom parameters to open the editor.
   * Base URL: [[https://rapideditor.org/rapid#]]
-  * VBMP imagery: [[background=VBMPImagery_Most_Recent]]
+  * VBMP imagery: <code>background=VBMPImagery_Most_Recent</code>
+  * Microsoft Buildings: <code>datasets=msBuildings</code>
+  * Area to start in: <code>map=10.37/38.1811/-79.1423</code> This updates in the URL as you scroll and zoom. So just navigate the map to your favorite spot, and copy/paste.
+  * My favorite, Power user: <code>poweruser=true</code> Allows one to make large edits (>100), and use preview datasets.
+My URL: [[https://mapwith.ai/rapid#background=VBMPImagery_Most_Recent&datasets=msBuildings&map=10.37/38.1811/-79.1423&poweruser=true]]
+==== Keyboard shortcuts: ====
+  * Select a building outline, press **A** to **a**dd it.
+  * **R**otate, and **M**ove. (A bug: you can't switch directly from R to M, you must 'esc' or click to escape the move or rotate mode before selecting the other mode) [[https://github.com/facebook/Rapid/issues/818|#818]]
+  * If address node exists, Shift+click to select building and address, then **C**ombine.
+----
+===== Using JOSM =====
+  * Install MapWithAI plugin.
+  * When downloading data, tick the 'download mapwithai' checkbox.
+  * If you use continious download, I suggest turning it off. mapwithai loads frequently, and takes long, and is frustrating when trying to work with it. Download an area, map it, then download another area.
+  * Tip: when a building outline doesn't match the building, use the improveway plugin to fix it. That is considerably faster than adding individual nodes and dragging them. Don't forget to use **Q** to square the building after editing the outline.

+===== Tasking Manager =====
+[[https://stm.hauke-stieler.de/dashboard|Simple Task Manager]] works well for organizing and tracking your work. It tracks only by area, not by mapped feature like Map Roulette.
