Beyond the sidewalk
Trails, parks and the great outdoors — accessibility included.
Outdoor independence matters as much as urban. PATHS Navigation layers trail grade, surface and rest points so a day in the park is planned with the same precision as a route to work.

- Rest points, benches & viewpoints
- Wheelchair-rated outdoor routes
The vision
The world's largest accessibility navigation network — built together.
Official datasets get us part of the way. Real independence is built on lived experience. PATHS Navigation combines both, so every report makes the next route better for someone else.
Community-verified
Reports reviewed and weighted by the people who use them.
Privacy-first
No tracking, no selling. Your location stays yours.
Accessibility-led
Designed and tested with disabled users at every step.
Our mission
The shortest route isn't always the right one.
A 30‑second detour with curb ramps can mean the difference between independence and turning back. PATHS Navigation plans around real-world barriers that wheelchair users and people with mobility impairments face every day.
