If you live with a disability then accurate and detailed accessibility information for all venues is extremely helpful.
Some sites have been created to collect information about accessibility but when Google Maps facilitated postings about accessibility it changed this island in the Infoworld!
I live with progressive multiple sclerosis and I use a cane, rollator, or power wheelchair depending on my energy and strength. Google Maps has a huge group of users and contributors and the accessibility information on Google Maps has dramatically increased.
I am a Google Maps Local Guide and I love sharing accessibility information on Google Maps. I use photos of signage, ramps, seating, and washrooms to enhance my postings.
With this opportunity, I am contributing to the community at large. 20% of the Canadian and American population report being disabled and this group are well served with the Google Maps accessibility information.
Accessibility information posted on Google Maps also encourages venues to make accessibility improvements so Google is creating a social benefit to our communities.
