Find wheelchair accessible restaurants, cafes, toilets, shops, cinemas, parking lots, bus stops and much more. The Wheelmap and OpenStreetMap communities have already rated about 1 million places! Ratings for another million places come from a growing number of partners such as Foursquare City Guide, Jaccede, AXSMap, HERE, Parkopedia, bahnhof.de, Mapy bez barier, etc. All in all, you can find accessibility reviews of more than 2,000,000 places on Wheelmap! More entries are added daily.

As with Wikipedia, you too can join in and contribute information about places worldwide. This is important, because in some regions of the world there are only a few entries at the moment. Help us improve the map: Rate the entrances and restrooms of public places according to their wheelchair accessibility and upload images of the places.

The 30 countries with the highest number of rated places are:

Germany (582,174), United States (277,194), India (258,992), France (161,486), South Africa (74,568), Canada (57,247), Czech Republic (53,888) United Kingdom (53,718), Austria (52,253), Italy (40,256), Australia (31,238), Spain (25,905), Algeria (24,657), Japan (21,503), Switzerland (20,820), Taiwan (15,300), Netherlands (15,030), Russian Federation (13,816), Hungary (13,186), Poland (13,056), United Arab Emirates (12,976), Turkey (11,180), Belgium (8,834), Brazil (8,070), Indonesia (7,765), Ukraine (7,495), Republic of Côte dIvoire (7,467), Mexico (7,449), Croatia (7,194).

Pros and cons of Wheelmap app for iPhone and iPad

Wheelmap app good for

This app really changed my life as a mobility impaired person completely. Now i can figure out in advance which place is accessible and which not. I also can share my experiences with other people in wheelchairs. Thank you so much.
Please will create version else on Russian language. Russian people with disability need use it also.

Some bad moments

Howdy. I live in South Bend, IN, a medium little city with hundreds of businesses. What concerns me is that there are only 3 businesses that show up in my area with this app. Do we the people have to enter them in, or should more be showing up already? Help! Awesome idea for an app, just want more locations!
I put in the local hospital. This app said it was 436 miles away form me. Its in fact less than 10 miles away. 436 miles I can be in Indiana!
But I cant seem to figure out how to register and log in. Registered with OpenStreet thing and then tried to use that login with Wheelmap. Didnt work. Got so twisted between the two that I gave up.
Opened account online. Confirmed via email. Updated settings online. Cannot login to app. Tried many times. No places come up. Do they once logged in- which is not possible.
