InWheel is a community-driven application for accessibility information across Europe. With over 2 million places indexed, it helps individuals with mobility disabilities by letting users contribute accessibility details often missing from mainstream mapping services.
- Europe-Wide Coverage: Over 2 million places across Europe
- Accessibility Data: Information on entrances, ramps, step counts, restroom accessibility, and more
- Community Contributions: Users can contribute and verify accessibility data to improve accuracy
- Real-Time Map: Vector tile-based map with smooth rendering of millions of markers
InWheel leverages OpenStreetMap (OSM) data as its foundation, enriched with additional accessibility details. The app uses a community-driven approach to ensure the data remains accurate and up-to-date. Users can edit the accessibility details of places directly through the app.
