Businesses and points of interest featuring accessible entrances, bathrooms and other features will now be prominently marked as such.<br \/>\nMillions, of course, require such accommodations as ramps or automatic doors, from people with limited mobility to people with strollers or other conveyances. Google has been collecting information on locations&rsquo; accessibility for a couple years, and this new setting puts it front and center.<br \/>\nThe company showed off the feature in a blog post for Global Accessibility Awareness Day. To turn it on, users can go to the &ldquo;Settings&rdquo; section of the Maps app, then &ldquo;Accessibility settings,&rdquo; then toggle on &ldquo;Accessible places.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>This will cause any locations searched for or tapped on to display a small wheelchair icon if they have accessible facilities. Drilling down into the details where you find the address and hours will show exactly what&rsquo;s available. Unfortunately it doesn&rsquo;t indicate the location of those resources (helpful if someone is trying to figure out where to get dropped off, for instance), but knowing there&rsquo;s an accessible entrance or restroom at all is a start.<br \/>\nThe information isn&rsquo;t automatically created or sourced from blueprints or anything &mdash; like so much on Google, it comes from you, the user. Any registered user can note the presence of accessible facilities the way they&rsquo;d note things like in-store pickup or quick service. Just go to &ldquo;About&rdquo; in a location&rsquo;s description and hit the &ldquo;Describe this place&rdquo; button at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/guce.techcrunch.com\/consent?brandType=nonEU&#038;done=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch%2Ecom%2F2020%2F05%2F21%2Fgoogle%2Dhighlights%2Daccessible%2Dlocations%2Dwith%2Dnew%2Dmaps%2Dfeature%2F&#038;gcrumb=Qb7talU=\">Google highlights accessible locations with new Maps feature<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google has announced a new, welcome and no doubt long-asked-for feature to its Maps app: wheelchair accessibility info.
