About
GoodMaps is a Louisville, Kentucky-based accessibility technology company that builds precise indoor navigation systems for environments where GPS is unavailable or inaccurate. Its technology is licensed by airports, transit agencies, hospitals, universities, and convention centres, which use it to publish detailed indoor maps that blind and low-vision visitors can navigate with turn-by-turn audio guidance.
What It Does
GoodMaps Explore covers indoor venues: a venue scanned with LiDAR equipment produces a centimetre-accurate 3D map accessible through the free app. Users receive spoken turn-by-turn directions from any entrance to any gate, shop, restroom, or service desk. GoodMaps Outdoors extends the same precision to pedestrian navigation outside. The app is free for end users; venues pay a licensing fee to publish their maps. Deployed locations include Nashville BNA Airport, Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, and other major facilities.
Who It Helps
Blind, low-vision, and deafblind travellers and commuters who need precise, reliable indoor navigation at airports, transit hubs, hospitals, and large public buildings that standard GPS-based apps cannot map.
