All, I recently ordered a couple of the new San Fran Lighthouse for the Blind TMAPS. Each map was $20. They were very, very basic, no building shapes or any other info except for street names and raised lines for streets. In case you've not heard of this new program, you can find it here. <http://lighthouse-sf.org/tmap/> I also ran across a really interesting automated tactile map generator online. You can either download in an image file to run through a thermoform type machine, or get a file for tactile graphics through an embosser. These maps don't have any street names, or even a designation of north, but they're free and provide shapes and locations of streets and some buildings. You can find those here. <https://touch-mapper.org/en/> Are any of you familiar with other agencies that can create quality tactile maps with street names and lots of detail? I'm totally curious. As a blind O and M, tactile maps are an amazingly great tool to help get the overall layout of an area before working with a student, as well as using as a teaching tool for a student.
