OnWheels Maps for Wheelchair Users (Beta)

Welcome to OnWheels, a beta version app designed to facilitate the mobility of wheelchair users. This app takes advantage of the wheelchair ramps noted by the community within the city, allowing users to move safely on the sidewalks of the city and avoid obstacles.

Features

  • Accessible map views for wheelchair users
  • Real-time navigation and route optimization
  • Community-sourced data on accessible locations
  • Integration with Google Maps and Firebase Realtime Database
