Tactile Mapping Software

As part of a project funded by NSF-HRD-Research in Disabilities Education (grant #0533251), we have created and tested Tactile Map Editor, software designed for use in the production of tactile maps and graphics. This software includes embedded tactile map symbols, which were developed in conjunction with the software. Please see a description of the project in the Projects - Facults section of this webpage. The symbols set is below.

See the Faculty Projects section for a description of projects.
