## What is AccessMap?
20
+
21
+
AccessMap is a free, web-based pedestrian trip planner developed by the Taskar Center for Accessible Technology at the University of Washington. Unlike typical navigation apps, AccessMap provides detailed information specifically designed for people with mobility challenges, those who are blind/low-vision, or have other accessibility needs, including:
22
+
23
+
-**Sidewalks and footpaths**: Mapped pedestrian networks with detailed attributes based on [OpenSidewalks](../../opensidewalks/index.md) data
-**Curb ramps and barriers**: Identification of obstacles like raised curbs and stairs
26
+
-**Customizable routing**: Routes tailored to your specific mobility preferences

## Exploring Data Before the Event
91
+
92
+
We encourage participants to review the current sidewalk and pedestrian data for the route and surrounding area using the OSConnect Data Viewer:
93
+
94
+
[**OSConnect Data Viewer - Vancouver, WA**](https://osconnect-viewer.tdei.us/#map=15/45.64/-122.65)
95
+
96
+
This viewer displays the OS-CONNECT database - a standardized collection of sidewalk and pedestrian infrastructure data for Washington State. After the event, you can revisit this view to see the difference your contributions have made to the dataset.
97
+
98
+

99
+
100
+
## Differences Between AccessMap Comments and AVIV ScoutRoute Quests
Both types of feedback are valuable! Use AccessMap comments for general observations and AVIV ScoutRoute quests for detailed, structured data contribution.

117
+
118
+
### Understanding Quests
119
+
120
+
Quests in AVIV ScoutRoute are small pieces of information to gather about the built environment. Each quest type is represented by a circular icon on the map:
| Bus |**Bus Stops**| Quests about a bus stop location |
125
+
| Pedestrian inside pathway |**Sidewalks**| Covers a stretch of the pedestrian sidepath along the road |
126
+
| Pedestrian on marked crossing |**Crossings**| Pertains to a crossing that intersects with vehicle traffic |
127
+
| Traffic light |**Intersections**| Questions about a given intersection as a whole |
128
+
| Car |**Driveway Points**| Location of a sidewalk-driveway intersection |
129
+
130
+
**Tip:** Quest icons stack up to keep the map easy to see. Make sure you **zoom in** to see every available quest!
131
+
132
+
### Finding Quests On Location
133
+
134
+
When you are physically present at the event location:
135
+
136
+
1. Ensure location services are enabled on your device
137
+
138
+
2. The app will automatically show quests near your current location
139
+
140
+
3. Travel along the route and tap on quest icons as you encounter them
141
+
142
+
4. Answer the questions based on your direct observations of the environment
143
+
144
+
### Downloading Data for Remote Access
145
+
146
+
_Note: When opening the NDA Vancouver workspace from outside of Vancouver, WA, a message may pop up saying "Download error. Send an error report to the developer?" This is expected, as AVIV ScoutRoute is intended for use during on-the-ground, at-location surveys. Click "**Cancel**" and move the map to the Vancouver, WA area before continuing._
147
+
148
+
If you want to preview quests remotely (not on-location) or preload data (for example, on WiFi before beginning the walkabout, instead of using mobile data):
149
+
150
+
1. Open the app, log in, and select the **"NDA Vancouver"** workspace
151
+
152
+
2. Navigate the map to the Vancouver, WA area (from Clark College to Washington Street)
153
+
154
+
3. Select the **Menu** in the top bar
155
+
156
+
4. Select "**Download data here**"
157
+
158
+
5. The app will download all quest data for the visible area on your screen
