# InWheel
InWheel is a community-driven application for accessibility information across Europe. With over 2 million places indexed, it helps individuals with mobility disabilities by letting users contribute accessibility details often missing from mainstream mapping services.
## Features
- **Europe-Wide Coverage**: Over 2 million places across Europe
- **Accessibility Data**: Information on entrances, ramps, step counts, restroom accessibility, and more
- **Community Contributions**: Users can contribute and verify accessibility data to improve accuracy
- **Real-Time Map**: Vector tile-based map with smooth rendering of millions of markers
---
## How It Works
InWheel leverages OpenStreetMap (OSM) data as its foundation, enriched with additional accessibility details. The app uses a community-driven approach to ensure the data remains accurate and up-to-date. Users can edit the accessibility details of places directly through the app.
## Running the App
**Requirements:** Android Studio, JDK 21+
```bash
git clone https://github.com/koinsaari/inwheel.git
```
Open the project in Android Studio and run on an emulator or device.
The app connects to the production API automatically. No additional setup needed.
## API
The InWheel API is publicly available for third-party integrations. See the [API Documentation](./api/README.md) for endpoints and usage details.
**Rate Limits**: 100 requests per minute per IP. See [Terms of Service](./TERMS.md#api-usage-and-rate-limiting) for full policy.
## Credits
Special credit to **Cindy Ribeiro Pinto** who not only made and designed the app logo but also helped define the detailed accessibility criteria that this app is built around.
