PathView is BindiMaps' indoor navigation app, built for all abilities. Find your way in shopping centres, hospitals, universities, airports, public buildings and office complexes, as well as expos, events and major sporting venues. Key features: * PathView+ shows photo previews of your route in supported venues, so you know exactly what to look for before you arrive. * Search a supported venue for stores, services, bathrooms, parking and more, then follow step-by-step directions to get there. * Floor-by-floor maps show where you are and where you're going, with landmarks along the way. * Wheelchair-accessible routing finds lifts and ramps instead of stairs and escalators. * Share a destination or meeting point as a link. It opens in the app or in any browser. * No account and no sign-in. Location is only ever used with your permission. * Venue maps are live, so new stores and changed layouts appear without an app update. PathView is the new name for the BindiMaps app. If you used BindiMaps for its voice-guided navigation for people who are blind or have low vision, that experience continues in TruStep, our dedicated app with turn-by-turn voice navigation indoors. Search the store for TruStep, also by BindiMaps. PathView works in supported locations (complete list on our website). Contact us if you would like to recommend that a location installs PathView.
