In the Yandex Maps application, it became possible to mark places suitable for people with disabilities. This is reported by several Russian media with reference to Yandex.
According to the source, now in Yandex Maps, any user can add information about points, establishments and institutions that are suitable for visiting people with disabilities. For example, you can note whether there is a ramp at the entrance to the building, whether there is a special toilet for the disabled inside, and so on.
This kind of information will be very useful for people in wheelchairs, women with prams, and even just a traveler with a large suitcase.
“For a person who has never used a wheelchair, it is difficult to assess the steepness of a ramp or the width of a door. Therefore, we ask users to add photos, and for each photo we indicate the upload date. The pictures will tell you what the entrance looks like, and the date will help you understand how relevant the information is,” Yandex.
To leave a mark on the map, open the organization card and click “Fix inaccuracy”. Next, select the “Accessibility” section and go through the available attributes: a staff call button, an elevator, a ramp, automatic doors, and so on. The tool is available both in the mobile application and on the website of the service.
