Wheelmap.org - A map of wheelchair accessible places

I just happened to have discovered this website last week as well after sharing data on whether places I visited are wheelchair accessible as well using https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete.

I'd highly recommend everyone with an Android device to install that app. And if you're in e.g. a restaurant, take a look around, whip out StreetComplete, and mark the place as wheelchair accessible or not.

Note that wheelchair quests are disabled by default, you need to go into settings to enable them.

I love StreetComplete but I wish it was faster at discovering nearby quests, it can take many minutes if you are in a new area and have many quest types active.

Westnordost has been actively working on this the last few days, and talking about it in the OSMUS Slack. The query times are down to a fraction of what they've been, so assuming it all scales well, I'd expect the changes to be in a new version of StreetComplete very soon.
