Wheelchair Accessibility on OpenStreetMap
www.youtube.com
During the week, I gave a talk about accessibility mapping at the Irish Wheelchair Association in Kilkenny, and I thought it might be useful to make the talk...

Accessibily mapping is something that OSM does really well, and which is lacking in other map services. This is a really good introduction to (wheelchair) accessibility mapping.

    If mapping my area in streetcomplete ever taught me anything, then it is how absolutely fucked you are if you’re bound to a wheelchair.

      I guess there should be great value in getting people that use wheelchairs into mapping. I try my best, but it is limiting how well I can map without experience with a wheelchair.

      We have gotten a local group together in the last months with small lectures and mapped ng with StreetComplete. Getting some of the local disability organisations on board would be great in the future.
