With Ginto, you can find information on the accessibility of cafés, restaurants, museums, and much more. Here, you can learn how to search for them using the Ginto app on your mobile phone.
Before you start

Ginto offers two applications for searching accessibility information: a mobile app and a web map for computers. Both the app and the web map are optimized for their respective uses and offer different advantages.

Advantages of the web map: It adapts to your screen size and is ideal for those who prefer researching on larger monitors. The web map offers extensive search and filter functions.

Advantages of the app: The mobile app features simple search functions and allows you to independently record new accessibility information while on-site. It uses your device's camera and GPS for this purpose.

Not all features available on the mobile phone are included in the web map, and vice versa. This guide explains how to search for accessible places using the mobile app. You can find instructions for searching with the web map in the overview within the support section.

Frequently asked questions

Select needs profile (app)

Choose either a standardized needs profile or create your own individual profile. Based on this, Ginto evaluates the accessibility of locations individually.

  1. 1
    Open the "Needs profile" section in the menu and select the profile that best suits you. Please note that these are preset standards.
  2. 2
    All settings for the profile are now displayed below your selection. This allows you to see how Ginto calculates the accessibility of locations for each needs profile.
  3. 3
    If you wish, you can adjust the individual values. Ginto will save these changes to your custom profile.

Thanks to your personal needs profile, Ginto offers you an unprecedented level of personalization.

Check accessibility (app)

With Ginto, you can find accessibility information for cafés, restaurants, or parking spaces in your immediate vicinity or at a location of your choice.

  1. 1
    Open the "Needs Profile" section in the menu and select the profile that best suits you.
  2. 2
    Enter the location you are looking for in the search bar or select a category.
  3. 3
    The list and map will now display the surrounding locations that match your search.
  4. 4
    The color and icon of the locations on the map indicate whether they are fully, partially, or not at all accessible according to your selected needs profile.
  5. 5
    When you click on an entry, Ginto shows you detailed accessibility information as well as any available photos of the location.

Haven't found what you're looking for yet? The Ginto web map offers additional search options. For example, you can combine the "Town" and "Category" filters or search specifically for certain amenities, such as a height-adjustable bed.

Frequently asked questions

Why are there two entries for the same location in Ginto?

Ginto resolves duplicate entries as much as possible. However, it can happen that a duplicate is not recognized as such due to slightly different names, addresses, or spellings. In this case, please let us know so that we can carry out a manual review.
