Create a truly inclusive campus, with step-free routing, audible guidance, and clear wayfinding. Learn more >>
Large campuses, whether academic or medical, can be complex and overwhelming to navigate.
For people with accessibility needs, those challenges are even greater. Our tools are designed to:
Support people with mobility or visual impairments
Reduce stress for first-time visitors, students, patients, and families
Improve staff productivity by reducing the time spent giving directions
Comply with accessibility standards and best practices
Audible navigation: Clear, turn-by-turn audio instructions for visually impaired users.
Step-free routing: Automatically finds the most accessible route, avoiding stairs and obstacles.
Route-based POI announcements: Key points like lifts, restrooms and vending machines etc. are announced at the start and as users pass them.
Easy updates: Adjust routes in real time to reflect construction or temporary changes.
MazeMap works seamlessly with NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack, helping users explore indoor spaces through clear spoken feedback.
All key actions — from searching to routing — can be done with a keyboard. Focus is visible and never lost.
Color is supported by icons and labels, ensuring room states and routes remain clear for everyone.
All text and UI elements stay legible and functional when zoomed up to 200%.
MazeMap adapts naturally to any screen size and input — touch, mouse, or keyboard.
Notifications and alerts are announced to assistive technologies, keeping users informed at every step.
Interactive elements meet the 24 × 24 px standard, allowing confident tapping and precise control.
An optional high-contrast view boosts visibility for text, icons, and focus highlights — ideal for low-vision users.
Works with your campus app, LMS, or website
Supports multiple data sources for up-to-date maps and routes
Integrates with beacons, Wi-Fi and QR codes
Built to align with WCAG and other accessibility standards
Step-free / wheelchair-friendly routing (avoids stairs & non-accessible areas)
Ensures mobility impaired students & visitors can navigate independently.
Audible / spoken turn-by-turn navigation (for visually impaired & hands-free use)
Supports users with visual impairment and improves independence.
Real-time route / map updates (temporary obstacles,construction zones)

Universities are large, complex sites - full coverage is critical to deliver a truly inclusive campus experience.
MazeMap 2.8.1 is currently partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This means that while most features meet accessibility standards, some areas still need refinement. The evaluation is based on MazeMap’s internal audit and the Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT 2.5 – WCAG Edition).
Scope: Web application (SPA), iOS and Android apps.
Method: Automated testing, manual inspection, and assistive technology testing with NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
You can read the full findings in our Accessibility Report – Public Summary and VPAT 2.5 document.
In line with the EU Web Accessibility Directive, we publish all known accessibility limitations transparently:
1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum): minor text contrast issues in the default theme.
1.4.11 Non-text Contrast: certain decorative icons below 3:1 contrast ratio.
4.1.2 Name, Role, Value: a few interactive elements need ARIA updates (e.g. campus list).
These do not affect core navigation. Fixes are in progress and planned in our next product releases.
Accessibility is verified through both automated and manual methods:
Automated tools: axe, WAVE, Lighthouse, Pa11y.
Manual testing: keyboard navigation, focus visibility, and zoom at 200%.Assistive technology testing: NVDA (Windows), VoiceOver (macOS/iOS), TalkBack (Android).
Visual verification: high contrast and dark mode checks.
Testing follows VPAT® 2.5 methodology and WCAG 2.2 Techniques and Failures guidance.
Web application: Interactive map, search, routing, and room details. Mobile apps: Equivalent functionality with screen reader and gesture support. Admin Tool: Customer-controlled content (themes, icons, labels) with guidance to maintain accessibility.
We’re always improving our accessibility tools to meet the evolving needsof universities.
Here’s what’s coming soon:
Advanced POI labeling: Even richer accessibility data on every map
Improved audio guidance: More natural voice instructions and language options
Enhanced reporting: Insights to help you track and improve campusaccessibility
Accessibility isn’t a one-time project, it’s a continuous commitment.
Step-free / wheelchair-friendly routing (avoids stairs& non-accessible areas)
Audible / spoken turn-by-turn navigation (for visuallyimpaired & hands-free use)
Accessible Points of Interest (POIs) – lifts, ramps, accessible restrooms, entrances
Multi-stop routing (A → B → C) for planned journeyswith multiple waypoints
Real-time route / map updates (temporary obstacles,construction zones)
Integration with existing campus systems (apps,timetables, LMS, maps, APIs)
Campus-scale coverage (multi-building, multi-floor,indoor + outdoor)

Accessibility Report VPAT® 2.5 (WCAG Edition) – available on request
Each document follows accessibility best practices and can be shared publicly in procurement or compliance processes.
When customizing MazeMap, please follow these good practices to keep your content accessible:
Maintain contrast ≥ 4.5:1 for text and ≥ 3:1 for UI components.
Add descriptive text for icons and images.
Avoid using color as the only way to convey information.
Write clear, descriptive labels for Points of Interest and links.
We provide documentation and support to help you meet these requirements
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment. Our next steps include:
Refining contrast tokens and icon visibility.
Aligning ARIA roles and semantic labels.
Expanding keyboard and focus patterns in legacy views.
Exploring an “enhanced accessibility mode” for blind users with simplified navigation and audio feedback.
