Blue Badge car park and on-street parking database
BBNav features a database of Blue Badge car parks and on-street parking bays. This unique feature can save not only time but can also take out the uncertainty when driving around and searching for a car parking space.

Clear colour-coded and numbered icons are displayed on the mapping while driving and you can easily search for a car park/parking bay of choice and navigate directly to it.

To ensure the right type of car park is found for specific needs, most are graded from 1 to 3: Grade 1 being suitable for wheelchair users traveling independently; Grade 2 for wheelchair users traveling with assistance and Grade 3 for wheelchair users or those with some degree of mobility, able to walk a limited distance.

BBNav also provides information about any height restrictions above 2.2 meters, which can be extremely useful if you are driving a converted vehicle for example.

BBNav also allows you to locate and navigate directly to over 10,000 on street parking bays, including Blue Badge and red routes bays. With clear icons on the map it's easy to identify the bays, as well as understand the waiting times or any restrictions.

In addition, BBNav's mapping has been uniquely colour - coded to clearly show the rules that the local councils apply for Blue Badge holders, so users can easily identify whether they can park legally on yellow lines, pay and display or in residents' bays.

POI data in association with PIE
In addition to over 40,000 UK points of interest, BBNav offers a database of over 20,000 POIs tailored specifically for people with disabilities making it the perfect travel companion. For carers wanting to take a client or family member out for the day, BBNav opens a new world of possibilities and helps making choices easier.

If you are visiting an unfamiliar town for a day trip, BBNav will tell you where you can park, where the public toilets with disabled facilities are and will even point out the nearest shopmobility scheme should you want to take a powered scooter or wheelchair to see the local attractions in greater detail.

BBNav also provides details of accommodation with disabled facilities, as well as over 300 beaches with disabled accessibility.

BBNav's POI data displays the disabled access type and contact telephone numbers making it easier than ever to plan a stress free trip and if you fancy taking a detour, you have the freedom to do so with the knowledge that BBNav will be able to offer invaluable and vital information to make the trip so much easier.
