Hi, my recommendation in addition to standard WCAG advice would be to:
* Allow users to filter data layers to focus on certain aspects
* Allow users to request information by a location or address
* Allow users to get directions or steps by putting in two or more locations - e.g. safe route in text directions to evacuate, etc.
* Present information in different ways not just visually
* Allow users to control presentation of the data - for example - colors/patterns, etc. that work for them
* Support large text - generally in maps as you zoom in text can get smaller or stay the same size.
* Support symbols/legends - both text and non-text options.
* Other supports
