There are already many places with exclusive access for people who use wheelchairs to move, as well as walkers or crutches, but there are those who just go to certain places because they are not sure that they would have the ease of entry .

For these reasons, Google will add a new feature that will allow people in their entirety, regardless of physical conditions, to navigate and fully explore the cities they inhabit. The company will look for users who are interested in contributing, enter the hamburger menu of the platform to select the section that says “Your contributions.”

Then press “provide missing information” and order by “accessibility” to find nearby places where that data is missing. It will be possible to accommodate them by different categories in case there is extra information of the place to be reviewed. Broadly, the application will display on the map all those places that have the necessary resources to enter without complications.

Google will also provide the possibility of individual locations being appended; That is, users can select the description and then select the section that says: “Do you know what features this place has?”. In this way, it will be possible to indicate which places have accessibility for all people, including ramps, parking places, etc.

With this new tool, users with Google Maps will be able to see places where there are elevators, special seats, accesses available, and all kinds of issues so that no person is limited.

The purpose of publicizing this new possibility of Google Maps, is that you help with your contribution, providing information about certain places that could be accessible to people who need other alternatives to move or enter an establishment.

Without doubt this new tool of Google, will be of great help so that the people do not stop to question if to leave or not of their homes, since it is not a privilege, but a right.
