Hello list members, starting today there is a visual slippy map displaying map features for the blind an visually impaired available in a beta testing state:
http://freenet-homepage.de/rapunzely/OSM/blindmap.html Hobby cartographers without visual impairment can now check their contributions to the map for the blind, what will give them motivation. That is how the map will force the adding of tags relevant for tactile maps and navigation software for the blind as the next steps. The two tags "tactile paving" and "traffic_signals:sound" are already surprisingly often used. Thank you to all contributors! More tags will be added from time to time. Please spread this information to your interested friends and colleagues. Regards Lulu-Ann _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
