You want to go out but don't know what is accessible for you to go to. When you plan your visit but it can be hard to navigate and get to where you want to - especially if you have to travel a fair distance from the car / train / bus stop. Older people don't think of themselves as disabled but may have access needs. Older people don't like asking for help. What if they could find that information on their mobile? By looking at different options such as a mobile phone app but also text or voice message. It has portability and potential. Being able to know what is around you means you know the nearest cafe / bar / restaurant / shop, toilet etc. with the access information you need at your finger tips.

You have to have a reason to want to be online if there are barriers like mouse use or having never typed to getting online. And once you've learnt the skills, they're no use if you have no reason to come back & use them. So what do the older gen want to do & how can we help remind them how to get to the sites they want to visit?
