Whats in it For Me? Making a Web Map Assessible to the Sight Impaired
Track: Web Mapping
Authors: Lynn Biggs

A user of Cobb County's 'What’s in it for Me?' web map can either enter an address or use a mouse click on the screen to generate a listing of transportation and parks projects within a 5 mile buffer of that address or click. A Cobb Transit Advisory Board member prompted us to make the information provided in the What’s in it for Me web map accessible to the sight impaired. This presentation will review the process we took to make that happen.
