Abstract
Modern technology provides various apps for navigation and routing, but these are not always accessible for anyone. People with special needs have different requirements for the suggested walking path and also other demands to the user interface. In this work we combine an accessible routing service with an accessible smartphone app, to support people with varying impairments. In a field study with 12 participants usability and accessibility issues of the concept were identified.
