Here's a pub which serves food and real ale, has a stone floor so you don't have to take your boots off, and is accessible by wheelchair. The bus stop outside has both a pole and a real-time display.

Here's a milestone by the side of the Leeds and Liverpool canal. You can see the cycle route that is there too. However, zoom in a bit ...

and you can see the directions on it.
This is all just using regular #OpenStreetMap data (so I guess it fits today's #30DayMapChallenge2024 ).

The schema used to extract the information is at github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/Some . The map style is github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/Some .
Documentation for both is ... as yet somewhat incomplete, but hopefully there's enough information there to show that doing this sort of thing really isn't that complicated.

It can be frustrating to see maps made with OSM data (by big companies that I won't link to here) that omit basic information - like hiking and cycling maps that don't say where you are and are not allowed to walk or cycle.
I suspect that the market for maps that show which pubs that have stone floors is a bit niche (i.e. me), but things like "can I get a wheelchair in" and "which hiking route goes through here" really aren't.
