How It Works

1

Venue Floorplan Submission

Venues submit their floorplans, a crucial first step in building a map that enables accessible navigation and independence for everyone.

2

Digitization & Georeferencing

We digitize the floorplan and georeference it to Earth's coordinates using GIS indoor mapping tools. We then add points of interest and routing for seamless navigation.

3

App Integration

This digitized interactive floorplan is integrated into our app, providing users with accurate, turn-by-turn directions and a new level of confidence and freedom.
