Many of use take for granted when we walk out the door or climb up steps to a restaurant but for tens and millions this can be an impossible task unless the place is wheelchair friendly. We navigate with maps on our mobile phones looking for direction and place of interest but if you’re disabled where are the accesses?

Google maps is making this noticeable on its application with features that will allow users to update by tapping ‘Uncover missing info’ and sort by accessibility to fill in on the vital missing details pertinent for these groups of people. There are a number accessibility attributes that can be chosen like wheelchair entrance, elevator, ramp, seating and parking. As this is an user interface, it will require regular updates by businesses and everyday commuters to start filling up the details.
