San Luis Obispo, CA – The SLO County Airport (SBP) is pleased to announce the launch of GoodMaps, an advanced indoor navigation platform designed to enhance accessibility and improve the travel experience for all passengers.

GoodMaps provides precise, turn-by-turn navigation throughout SBP’s terminal using smartphone-based technology. The system delivers accurate guidance without requiring additional physical infrastructure such as beacons or hardware installations.

The platform supports a wide range of traveler needs, offering audio guidance for blind and low-vision passengers, clear visual directions for deaf and hard-of-hearing travelers, automatic step-free routing for wheelchair users and those traveling with strollers, and structured navigation options designed to reduce sensory overload for neurodiverse individuals. GoodMaps also allows passengers to explore the terminal layout in advance, helping travelers feel prepared before they arrive.

“Accessibility is an essential part of the travel experience,” said Supervisor Dawn Ortiz-Legg. “By introducing GoodMaps, we’re ensuring that every passenger has the tools to navigate the terminal with greater independence and confidence.”

Courtney Johnson, Director of Airports, emphasized how the technology aligns with the airport’s broader sustainability efforts. “GoodMaps enhances accessibility while supporting our commitment to thoughtful, forward-looking innovation,” said Johnson. “Because the system operates without additional hardware or energy-intensive infrastructure, it aligns with our sustainability goals while improving the overall passenger experience.”

The launch of GoodMaps complements SLO County Airport’s ongoing sustainability initiatives, including its 940 kW solar photovoltaic canopy system in Parking Lot 4 and broader decarbonization efforts. Together, these investments reflect the airport’s commitment to creating an experience that is accessible, efficient, and environmentally responsible.
