Wheelmap is an online and mobile accessibility map developed by German nonprofit Sozialhelden e.V., launched in 2010 by social entrepreneur Raul Krauthausen. Built on OpenStreetMap — the open, community-edited world map — Wheelmap lets anyone contribute accessibility data to a shared global database without specialist training.
Users tag public places with three accessibility levels: green (fully wheelchair accessible), yellow (partially accessible), or red (not accessible), with restroom accessibility rated separately. Over 3 million cafés, libraries, museums, parks, and transit stations have been rated, with around 300 new places added every day. The platform is available on web, iOS, and Android, and its code is open source.
Wheelchair users and people who use wheeled walkers planning outings, travel, or daily routines, as well as disability advocates and local governments working to audit and improve community accessibility.
