Re: Accessible Maps - Best Practices

Here is a collection of links about creating accessible maps.
It is possible.

I hope interested folks find what they need. As always, please check the
dates and test, as needed; I have an appointment so am not able to vet
as carefully as I might.

It would be great if someone would write this up, as a one-stop kind of
post, combining the bits of wisdom shared below.
If someone does, I'd appreciate credit for providing the foundation.

As a side note, when I send these collections, as many on this list know
I often do, it's not because I spent an hour Googling. It's because I've
spent years collecting and curating.

Best,
Jennifer
