Accessibility Statement

We want NaviTraveler to be usable by as many people as possible. This page describes what we have done, what we know still needs work, and how to reach us.

Last updated: 1 September 2026

1. Our commitment

NaviTraveler aims to make its route guides readable and usable for a wide range of visitors, including people using assistive technology, slower connections, or older devices. Accessibility is an ongoing aim for us, not a finished task, and we keep working on it as the site grows.

2. What we have done

  • Semantic heading structure on route and legal pages, so screen readers and other tools can navigate content in order.
  • Keyboard navigable links, buttons, and forms, so the site can be used without a mouse or touch screen.
  • Colour contrast targets applied to text and interactive elements across the design.
  • Descriptive alternative text on images, including route photography, so the content of each image is conveyed to people who cannot see it.
  • Readable type sizes and line spacing chosen for comfortable reading on phones and larger screens.
  • Core content, including route stops and directions, that works without relying on heavy JavaScript interaction.

3. Known limitations

We want to be honest about where the site currently falls short. Known limitations include the following.

  • Embedded third-party content, such as maps, follows the accessibility of the provider and is not fully within our control.
  • Some longer route pages with many stops can be lengthy to navigate with a screen reader and could be improved with better in-page navigation.
  • Any third-party content or embeds that include video do not currently have captions provided by us.

We do not claim formal accessibility certification or full conformance with any particular accessibility standard. We treat accessibility as continuous, ongoing work.

4. Screenshots for travellers with limited data or battery

Each walk is designed to be followed from screenshots saved to your phone gallery before you set off. This approach helps travellers who want to limit data use, avoid unreliable signal, or preserve battery life, since the route can be read offline without keeping a browser tab open or a map app running.

5. Physical accessibility of walking routes

Many of our routes involve walking on ordinary city streets, and some include steps, sloped pavements, or uneven ground, depending on the destination. Where a route is known to include steps or a noticeable gradient, we try to mention it in the route description or stop directions so you can judge whether it suits you.

Route pages include a stated difficulty level to help you gauge physical demands before you start. Difficulty is a general guide, not a guarantee, and conditions on the ground can change, so please use your own judgment on the day.

6. Requesting an alternative format

If you need route content in a different format to use it comfortably, for example plain text without styling, contact us at legal@navitraveler.com describing what would help, and we will do our best to assist.

7. Feedback and response time

We welcome feedback on accessibility issues you encounter on this website. Please email legal@navitraveler.com or call +1 906-298-7381. We aim to acknowledge accessibility feedback within a few business days and to address confirmed issues as soon as reasonably possible.

8. Ongoing work

Accessibility improvements are part of our regular site work. As we update route pages and site features, we review them against the practices described above and adjust where we find gaps.
