Google Maps will show if places are wheelchair accessible

Google

Google Maps continues to receive functionalities, and it is that Google's cartography and navigation service has become an essential in the daily life of more than one, especially because it has the power and knowledge of its search engine, which enriches without equal to the navigation system, although it also has its flaws, like everything in this world around us. Nevertheless, The latest innovation in Google Maps we all love, and that is that it will mark if a place is accessible by wheelchair, which will facilitate the plans for users with mobility difficulties, or reduced mobility.

This function, which seems so simple, can be vital in the day-to-day life of these users we refer to. And we are in an era in which all places should be accessible to users with reduced mobility, at least as far as possible. However, the reality is quite different, since not even Metro Madrid is fully accessible for users with reduced mobilityBeing a public transport service, we can expect little more from the rest of the private areas.

For now, this function is expanding throughout the United States of America, where it is being really welcomed. Google is a company committed to accessibility, especially thanks to its policies for integrating people with diverse abilities in your company. Meanwhile, these functions that are under development will be expanded to the rest of the places where Google Maps has positioning, making life easier, not only for those who suffer from reduced mobility, but also for families with disabled members and even women who have to carry the classic baby carriage, everything will be easier with these new functions of Google Maps.

    I am one of those who is dedicated to reviewing whether public places have good access for people with disabilities in southern Spain and Levante.

    It is likely that it will appear on the Maps of Spain very soon.
