The Problem

For millions of visitors, a standard map is a wall. Someone in a wheelchair can't tell which route avoids the stairs. Someone who is blind can't read a directory board at all. Too often, accessibility is an afterthought bolted on to meet the bare minimum.

Our Solution

MapVX builds accessibility into the map itself. Screen-reader support, step-free routing, and real-time updates are native, with nothing to install. For blind and low-vision visitors, MapVX also integrates with the Lazarillo app for audio-guided wayfinding, so everyone gets the same confident experience, not a separate, lesser one.

How It Works

How the Map Guides Each Visitor

1

We map your space

We map every elevator, ramp, accessible entrance, and step-free path, not just the shortest route.

2

Visitors open it anywhere

On any phone or on-site kiosk, with screen-reader support built in. Blind and low-vision visitors can also use the Lazarillo app they may already have.

3

The route adapts to them

Step-free, elevator-first routing and real-time audio guidance for anyone who needs it.

4

Everyone gets there

The same clear, confident guidance to any destination, whatever a visitor's ability.

Accessibility That Comes Standard

Accessibility is not a separate mode or a second-rate map. It is part of the same experience every visitor gets, so a person using a wheelchair or a screen reader moves through your space with the same ease as anyone else.

  • The same map and experience for every visitor
  • Screen-reader compatible from end to end
  • No separate app, mode, or workaround needed

What's Included

Four Ways the Map Adapts

Audio-Guided Navigation

Real-time, turn-by-turn voice directions for visitors who are blind or have low vision.

Wheelchair-Friendly Routes

Smart routing via elevators, ramps, and accessible entrances that avoids stairs.

Screen-Reader Compatible

A fully screen-reader-ready interface on web, mobile, and kiosk.

Real-Time Accessibility Updates

Routes reflect closures and obstructions the moment they change, so no one hits a dead end.

The Business Case

Inclusion Is Good Business

Around one in five people lives with a disability, and they arrive with families, friends, and spending power. Serving them well is loyalty, reputation, and lower legal risk, not just goodwill.

Reach Every Visitor

Welcome a huge, often-ignored audience, and the people who visit alongside them, instead of turning them away at the door.

Stay Compliant

Meet accessibility expectations with real, usable navigation, and reduce the risk that comes with falling short.

Build a Better Brand

A venue that clearly works for everyone earns trust, word of mouth, and repeat visits.

More Than a Checkbox

Accessibility We Actually Get Right

Accessibility is native to MapVX, not a plugin. Screen-reader support, step-free routing, and real-time updates are built into the platform, and for blind and low-vision visitors we integrate the Lazarillo app for audio-guided wayfinding. It is the experience we started with.

That means step-free routing, screen-reader support, and audio-guided wayfinding that people actually rely on, not a box ticked for an audit. Explore wayfinding →

Questions

Frequently Asked

How does audio guidance work?

+
Blind and low-vision visitors get audio-guided wayfinding through the Lazarillo app, a dedicated navigation app for the blind that MapVX integrates with. It reads out each step as they move through your space. Everything else, like screen-reader support and step-free routing, is native to MapVX.

How does wheelchair routing work?

+
MapVX routes wheelchair users along step-free paths, favoring elevators, ramps, and accessible entrances, and avoiding stairs. It works across floors and buildings, so the whole journey stays accessible.

Is the interface screen-reader compatible?

+
Yes. The MapVX interface is built to work with screen readers end to end, on web, mobile, and kiosk, so blind and low-vision visitors can browse the directory and follow a route independently.

Does this help with accessibility compliance?

+
It helps. Real, usable accessible navigation is a meaningful step toward meeting accessibility expectations, and reduces the risk of falling short. We recommend confirming your full obligations with your own accessibility or legal team.

Do visitors need a special app to use it?

+
No. Screen-reader support, step-free routing, and the map itself run in any browser or on a kiosk, with nothing to install. Blind and low-vision visitors who use the Lazarillo app can also get audio-guided wayfinding through it.

How does accessibility connect to the rest of MapVX?

+
Accessibility is built into the same live map as everything else. Wayfinding, the directory, the AI assistant, and analytics all share it, so the accessible experience carries through every part of the platform.
