The site is similar to Wikipedia, where members of the community have access to make their own modifications as they visit locations and experience each place\u2019s level of accessibility. Users can mark their findings with either a green symbol denoting fully wheelchair accessible places; orange, which means partially wheelchair accessible; or red, indicating the place is not accessible.\u00a0The accessibility of restrooms can also be rated. Berlin<\/a>, Tokyo<\/a>, and Paris<\/a> are hot spots for entries, but the site has grown to include users worldwide with 3.2 million marked places.<\/p>\n

Google Maps<\/h2>\n

Google’s free and ubiquitous Maps platform offers quite a few accessibility features, such as a wheelchair-accessible route option<\/a> for walking directions so you can get stair-free routes between locations. If you\u2019re exploring shops, businesses, or museums, the wheelchair icon can help you find accessibility information. For example, Google can tell you if there is a step-free entrance, accessible restrooms, parking, or seating.<\/p>\n
