## What is WayAhead?

Know every slope before you go.

WayAhead analyses walking and wheelchair routes for steepness, step-free access, and distance — then colour-codes them on the map so you can judge whether a route is safe and comfortable before you set out.

HOW IT WORKS
Plan a route by entering an address or long-pressing on the map. WayAhead analyses elevation every 5 metres along the path and paints each segment green (easy), yellow (challenging), or red (steep). You'll see total distance, maximum slope, elevation gain and loss, a colour-distance breakdown, and an overall success score — all at a glance.

PERSONALISED FOR YOU
During onboarding, tell WayAhead how you move — manual wheelchair, electric wheelchair, or walking — and how far you can travel without a rest. The app tailors slope thresholds and recommends pauses before steep or long sections so you can plan with confidence.

WHEELCHAIR-AWARE ROUTING
WayAhead uses dedicated wheelchair routing to avoid stairs, high kerbs, and impassable barriers. Need a completely step-free route? Toggle barrier-free mode and every obstacle is routed around automatically.

KEY FEATURES
• Traffic-light slope overlay — green, yellow, red on every segment
• Slope analysis every 5 metres with 0.1 m elevation precision
• Explore hiking trails and city walks across 33 countries
• Trail slope analysis with the same traffic-light system
• Step-free and barrier-free routing
• Personalised by mobility type and stamina
• Automatic pause recommendations before steep sections
• Save and revisit your favourite routes with full stats
• Alternative route comparison — pick the safest option
• Works worldwide — plan routes in any country

WHO IS IT FOR?
WayAhead is built for anyone who needs to understand terrain before they travel:
– Manual and electric wheelchair users
– People who walk but avoid steep hills or stairs
– Older adults with limited stamina
– Parents with strollers or pushchairs
– Travellers with heavy luggage

WayAhead is NOT a car, cycling, or public-transport navigator. It focuses exclusively on pedestrian and wheelchair routes.
