Google Maps now has wheelchair accessible routes

Google Maps improves its functionality for wheelchair users with its latest feature. The navigation app can now identify routes that are wheelchair-accessible. These routes are useful not just for those who use wheelchairs but also those who are on crutches or have children in strollers with them. The feature comes to a handful of cities at the moment, including London, New York, Tokyo, Mexico City, Sydney, and Boston, but Google promises it’s working with transit agencies and its users input to add this information in other areas.

To access this feature, enter your desired destination into Google Maps and then tap Directions and then select the public transportation icon. And then select Options and then you’d find under Routes, the “wheelchair accessible” option. Google Maps will then show you possible routes you can take.
