Map Accessibility
Maps should be usable and understandable for everyone. When creating a map, you should consider how users in different situations, such as color vision deficiency, visual impairment, cultural understanding will interact with your map.
Maps tell a story. They tell us where we are, where we’ve been, and where we are going. Proper planning and design can make your story accessible to a wider audience.
