Accessible Life on Google Earth - Live Now

Google Maps contribution stories
1

After a personal experience with the disability, I started to discover and contribute in Google Maps to places for supporting an accessible tourism, and to give the opportunity to a person with a wheelchair for enjoying nature and sun.

All this is now live in Google Earth, available for everyone.

I am happy to share my activity with you.

My dream is to inspire some of you to do the same, creating your own tour on Google Earth.

I am sure you are curious. I don’t need to explain too much right now, but I will be happy to help you with your story, and I will be happy to add your place in this tour.

Have a fun on Accessible paths on Google Earth

You need to have Google Earth installed on your mobile, to open it

A big hug to @Sashabg and to my mom, for encouraging me to go ahead with the project

@ErmesT Awesome. Great project. In my Dad’s latter years, he was in a wheelchair. I would post videos to Google Maps of him getting out of the car and going to an overlook at the beach, or being escorted to his table at a restaurant. Also, local Senior Centers welcome the opportunity to learn how to use Google Maps and find these videos to expand their community and family experience.

Thank you @Raphael-Mahumane

I confirmed it. And I noticed I can open it via only Incognito mode now. I don’t know the reason why but it resolved anyway.

@HiroyukiTakisawa

The best option on mobile is to install the Google Earth app.

I am happy that you like it, because I was putting a lot of effort in trying to make it understandable.

You should try a virtual coffee tour, transforming your list in a virtual visit

Muy bueno tu recorrido de accesibilidad @ErmesT . Es interesante como esta herramienta puede ayudar a algunos a encontrar esos lugares para poder disfrutar. De todas maneras me queda la sensación de poco, en el sentido de que estoy saltando de un lugar a otro como si fuera un gigante dando grandes zancadas. Y al costado tengo las fotos y un pequeño texto que cuando tengo un vídeo me saca del formato para poder verlo. La propuesta es muy buena y didáctica, esta en continua evolución, dándonos mas herramientas casi todos los días. Veremos como sigue desarrollándose.
