Logo CartoMobil'ite

CartoMobil’ite (carto.mobilite.xyz) is a collaborative map for active and inclusive mobility originally in Tahiti and Moorea, especially for wheelchair people.

For people using wheelchair this map aims at easing their movement.

Initially thought for Tahiti and Moorea in French Polynesia, (‘ite in tahitian means knowledge), this map allows to :

-  share accessible places such on the same basis as wheelmap.org with more details added, plus share obstacles, toilets and wheelchair parking places (no OSM account needed)

-  get information on those same items,

How it works

FAQ : Frequently Asked Questions

	How to contribute to the map There is 2 ways to contribute directly from the map: Modifying a Point of Interest : click on Modify (or so) when the POI form is shown, opening up a note, through the button Contribute (or so) And one other is to contribute from OSM : adding point of interest that are missing for example !
	Where does the data go? All the details are here : CartoMobilite/tags
	I have issues with hours, how to add them? Best choice is to use YoHours tool, and copy/paste result in the dedicated field.
	I have added a note of type "Other" and can't see it in map This note is generic and cannot be interpreted by map. Best choice is to contribute directly into OSM if you can (https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/) or wait for the data to be integrated into OSM by an OSM contributor
	A shop (or any other typo of point of interest) is missing, how to add it? The database behind the map is OSM. If a data is missing it is mainly because the data doesn't exist into OSM. Best is to add the point into OSM. Nice tutos here to learn the first steps and add your first point as new OSM contributor! https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/
	I have added a point in OSM and don't see it in the map, why? 2 possible reasons : the type of point you added isn't yet recognised by the map (not in the categories in the left panel). CartoMobil'ite shows a selection of information that might be of interest for wheelchair people. If you want to see a new type of info please contact us. the type of point exists There is about a 1 hour gap between an OSM contribution and point appearing in the map. Else contact us.

Tested and approved? You want to embark friends with you?

A technical advice in order to accompany newbies :

- create a filter on OSMCha especially on user "CartoMobil'ite_Visitor", which is the account that sends OSM modifications, and get the RSS link to it for your webmail app,

- add a custom RSS feed of your area on your webmail software, and set up a filter/rules on it on the text "CartoMobil'ite_Visitor".

Sponsors /financial support

This maps exists thanks to the financial support of French Polynesia government.

Then OSGeo Oceania supported the housing.

Still, the sustainability of the project is still to be ensured. So any financial or human help is welcomed. Please contact us if you are interested.
