Now on the map, you'll also find the category: hotels (hostels, apartments, guest houses, they're still working on filling them out), health (pharmacies), and shops (non-food products, pet stores, children's shops, bookstores).

• Locations #DostupnoRecommends

• Updated location ratings and search options

Many locations receive a red rating, the lowest one. This has been fixed. Now the location entrance block has received the highest priority. And if the entrance is accessible, the location will receive a yellow or even the best green rating. An accessible entrance, on the same level as the sidewalk or ramps up to 5 degrees and a doorway width of 68 cm, will help you find one of these locations. There are several blocks: entrance, toilet, the convenience inside, parking, for children, and more. Each of them receives an assessment and on their basis, the general assessment of the business is formed. The higher the score of each block is, the more chances to get the highest rating are.
