In this version, we have fixed an issue with taking photos.

Find wheelchair accessible places even faster now. Add and rate places more easily. The map view loads much faster when the app is started. The app is available in 7 additional languages. We have integrated more external data sources so that more places with more detailed information are displayed. The search now allows the correct input of non-Latin characters. You can use the filter options to search specifically for wheelchair accessible WCs. We have improved the layout of the photo gallery. You can report inappropriate or incorrect photos. In the menu item "Events" you can find mapping events in the Wheelmap community all over the world. You can add new places by clicking on "Add new place", making a simple questionnaire appear. There you can answer additional questions about accessibility that are important for blind or deaf people. No registration is required. Find a wheelchair accessible toilet nearest to a place. The traffic light symbols now have different shapes. This is helpful for, amongst others, colour-blind people.

- Completely overhauled app design with simplified navigation and a new base map. - With many more additional places! Now, Wheelmap displays wheelchair accessible places not only from OpenStreetMap, but also from FourSquare, HERE WeGo, Jaccede, AXSMap, and from many more data sources, which are regularly updated. You can still edit places that come from OpenStreetMap, the other entries are edited on the corresponding platforms by the communities of our partners. - For many places, Wheelmap now displays more details about accessibility; for example if a place is quiet, if it has automatic doors at the entrance or if there is an induction loop. - Wheelmap shows which public elevators and escalators are in operation. Facilities that are not in service are colored red. By tapping on an elevator, you directly see alternative elevators that you can use. This feature is limited to Germany for now, but we are working on solutions to extend it internationally. - Places are shown in clusters now when you zoom out: This way you can estimate the overall wheelchair accessibility of a whole city district. - It is now easier to tap on single markers because they do not overlap anymore, and the new layout does not hide markers when changing the zoom level. - A faster find-as-you-type search supports fuzzy searches like ‘cafe new york’. - New filter presets allow you to hide everything that’s not important for you. - A new image upload feature has explanations that should lead to better quality photos of places. - Places now have a button to directly open your own default maps application on your phone/tablet at the right location. - You can share places on Whatsapp and Telegram now.

Bugfix: Foto-Upload

March 20, 2017

Bugfix: In some cases newly created places showed up in Berlin Taubenstraße instead of the defined position. This should now not happen anymore, sorry.

September 26, 2016

What's new: - When you add a new place, the position will be at the current position where you are and not always in Berlin. Sorry for that! - It is now easier to report a problem with the app: Tap the "i" symbol in the lower left and scroll down. The cool thing as that we infos on you app configuration will be sent with the report so we can help you better! - We fixed some bugs when adding a new place did not work.
