[Athen] accessible interactive maps with data

[Joshua Hori]

I'm just trying to collect money for a project tango device from google. That tablet is amazing, too bad intel bought their "computer eye" company last week.

Check out the third video. He created an precise indoor wayfinding map of a subway using nothing but his tablet. Just wonder how difficult to get on other mobile devices...

Hello, all:


I don't know that these resources will answer your question specifically, Stephanie, but perhaps they'll point you and others working on interactive maps in the right directions when communicating with vendors.


I look forward to hearing and capturing what very specific guidance others may have.


Best,

Jennifer

Hi All,

I am interested in learning about any good examples of accessible interactive maps -- in particular, maps which display/pull from public census data. There are many products out there with totally inaccessible map interfaces and I'm looking for the most accessible alternative. Any information appreciated. Thank you.
