It has been proposed that this page or section be merged with Disabilities. (Discuss) |  |
OpenStreetMap aims to be the best world map for people with disabilities - by keeping track of important tags like wheelchair accessibility with Wheelmap, and by creating accessible versions of the map. It's important that OpenStreetMap's data is open in full because it makes these things possible - to process a world map into a direction finder for the blind, or a map of only wheelchair-accessible places.
