Hello!

I am doing research on the current state of Google Maps accessibility as well as what are the most accessible interactive map type APIs.

Can anyone point me to any great information you've found?

Thank you!

I would add that the non-embedded Google maps are more accessible than the embedded ones, so don't deactivate the link to maps.google.com (I think this is a possible setting when you are working in Google Maps building an embedded map)
