Accessible Mapping Tools
Do you often create online maps and then have difficulties converting into an accessible format? According to a report in Yahoo Finance, Corda technologies may be able to help. The company is claiming Section 508 compliance in the maps produced using OptiMap 5, as this quote shows:
One of the most notable aspects of OptiMap is that for Federal Government agencies and those doing business with federal customers, OptiMap charts are fully Section 508 compliant, providing the ability to have the full descriptive text of the map available to the visually impaired through an audible screen reader. OptiMap is the first and currently the only product to make online maps fully accessible for the visually impaired.
