Bryan,
Do Disabled Go have floor plans? I find their current website
incarnation incredibly annoying to use, they went from easy to
all-the-clicks to get to anything, maddening. Maybe their app is less
awful - I should try it.
I know we've mentioned the idea of floor plans as a good thing but got
no further. There are sometimes detailed fire plans on floors which
could probably be adapted for simplification for users.
