4. Known Limitations

We are continuously working to improve. Current known limitations:

• Third-party content (e.g. restaurant locations from Google Places) may not include full accessibility labels.
• Maps and geographic location views – map pins (markers) are accessible with restaurant name and visit count; the map interaction itself is not fully accessible in the current version.
