Capture routes

With Ginto, you can record important information about the accessibility of paths between individual areas. Stairs, elevators, doors, for example, can be detected along a path. With the help of this information, Ginto users can identify at an early stage which areas are accessible to them.

1
Routes can be entered using the “Paths” menu selection. Ginto gives you initial suggestions for this. Manually add all required routes by clicking on “Add path.”
2
Select the start and end points of the path.
3
Click on the newly created path and then click “Add path segment”. Here you can now individually add each path element along a path from start to end point. Be careful not to omit any path element.
4
Enter the details for each path element according to the specifications in Ginto. The criteria that still need to be filled in are highlighted in yellow in the app. Click on ‘Add’ to save the information.
5
Under “Criteria,” you can add information that is relevant for the entire journey.

Using the three dots at the top right, you can delete a path or an individual path element and edit the order of the path elements.

For certain path elements, such as a staircase, alternative path elements, such as a lift, can be entered directly under “Add alternative” (instead of “Add path segment”). Recurring path elements, such as stairs or lifts, can be entered once and then reused for multiple paths (see instruction Reuse path elements).

Our tip: Go down a path and record every path element as it is to ensure that nothing is forgotten. Ginto users decide for themselves whether a path is barrier-free or not based on your objective information.
