Google Maps is the favorite application to get anywhere. You just have to set the destination and wait for the instructions to arrive as fast as possible with the parameters you set. However, today it was not entirely useful for all users since Google Maps finally finds wheelchair-accessible places.
Everything you need to know about the establishments you visit
It is true that not all users have the same needs and that is why the conditioning of the premises is key. For example, people who move in a wheelchair require that the bathroom be arranged to use it without the help of anyone. Everything has to be within reach, not to mention that devices are needed for this. Not everyone meets this requirement, but now Google Maps will tell you which ones do.
It turns out that those of Mountain View have developed a new version of Google Maps with which users can know if a place is equipped for the disabled. Details such as an access ramp or a bathroom prepared for these people are strengths that will make all users enter and meet their needs without worrying about anything.
This new function not only influences the description of places, which will now have an icon of a person in a wheelchair if they have accessibility options. These will appear in the description indicating if they have parking, seat, bathrooms and adapted entrance. This will also appear in the filter options for users who have the application.
On the other hand, users will be responsible for evaluating establishments to validate that they have these important options today. The integration of all people is something that all businesses must take into account, although acclimatizing is an extra cost that must be assumed for the good of all.
Designed for parents with a cart and the elderly with a walker
This will not only help people in wheelchairs. These new filter options are also aimed at all parents who move their children by stroller or the elderly who need a walker to improve their mobility. In short, the new option of Google Maps for those who use wheels to move in their day to day will help everyone.
