Fw: [SEC508] Accessible Maps

["Stan Berman" <sb2001@verizon.net>]

Lars:


What information are you seeking?

A colleague has considerable experience with accessible maps, charts and 
graphs, as well as for the software tools that produce such.  In addition he 
and I have experience with some software and hardware that can produce 
tactile graphics of all types, including maps, and integrate with a computer 
to produce speech output for locations and information on the tactile map.

If you provide some further information I'll see how we can help by our own 
experiences and by directing you to some of the vendors that we know of.
