How routes are described
Directionary uses a framework informed by orientation and mobility (O&M) practices. Each component helps describe a different aspect of a journey.
- Directions
- Where do I move? Instructions that guide each step of a route.
- Clues
- How do I recognise my surroundings? Sensory and environmental information that helps identify where I am.
- Landmarks
- What can I orient myself by? Recognisable reference points along a route.
A guide, not a replacement
Directionary complements orientation and mobility training and existing mobility skills. Community-contributed routes may become outdated or inaccurate and do not guarantee safe navigation.
Directionary does not provide real-time obstacle detection. Always remain aware of your surroundings and exercise personal judgement.
