Hello Fellow LGs,

Google Maps provides an excellent opportunity to Local Guides to keep the accessibility information up to date and increase the visibility on accessibility. This helps user being well informed about the accessible places through Google Maps. This also helps LGs to create a bright accessible future for everyone who are in need in some point in time.

I feel that this is one of the best ways to help the society as rightly said,

Accessibility Removes Barriers and Unlocks the Possible!

As a Local Guide, we can contribute in many ways to Increase Visibility on Accessibility.

One of the easiest ways to do this by answering simple yes/no questions related to accessibility to help others on Google Maps app[1] as shown in the below photos[2].

Thanks dear friend @TravellerG for your wise words.

The idea is to create more and more awareness so that all should get benefitted. While adding photos/videos or posting reviews add more points to the profile compare to edit features[1] or answer simple yes/no questions or report incorrect, they take the precedence.

Hence, it is imperative to highlight these features which directly benefits the needy and helps the society.
