Knia Maps

"Wheelchair accessible" never warned you about the step at the door. Knia Maps aims to show the real details such as entries, toilets, parking, seating before you go.

You've heard "yes, we're accessible" and turned up to find a step at the door, a bathroom you can't turn around in, or parking that's somehow a block away. You only find out once you're already there.

Knia Maps shows the details that matter before you go.

A single wheelchair symbol can't speak for everyone. You might need step-free entry. A quiet corner away from the noise. Somewhere to sit and rest along the way. A toilet, or parking close enough to actually use. Knia Maps these things in the words of people who needed to know them too.

What you can do: • Explore a community map of places, features and hazards, with the access details people have shared: steps and ramps, doorways, bathrooms, parking, seating, lighting and noise. • Drop a pin to add a place/feature, or flag a hazard like a blocked footpath, an out-of-order lift or an unexpected step, so the next person is warned. • Add photos, so people can read a place for themselves instead of taking a venue's word for it. • Comment to ask questions, share what you found, or let others know when something has changed.

Knia Maps is owned by the people who use it, it isn't supplied by venues. No business can quietly delete the comment that flagged a step, and the more people add, the more reliable it gets for everyone.

Whether you use a wheelchair, live with chronic pain or fatigue, are autistic or hard of hearing, or you're a carer planning ahead, Knia Maps is built to help you go somewhere new and know what to expect.

Add a place/feature, flag a hazard, and help map a world that's easier to move through.
