TMAP (Tactile Maps Automated Production) provides on-demand tactile maps designed to help blind and visually impaired individuals explore and understand the layout of a neighborhood. These maps cover several blocks around a requested address, using raised lines, braille, and large print to identify streets and street labels. Paths and railways may be included, depending on map density. What’s Included: Two tactile maps of the same address: A zoomed-out overview A zoomed-in detail map showing streets, paths, and buildings (when data is available) A tactile map key An introductory page All materials are printed on 11" × 11.5" embossed paper with braille and ink/large print labels. Not suitable for college campuses. TMAP is designed for residential neighborhoods and street-level navigation, not for complex or campus layouts. If you would like a tactile map of a college or university campus, please contact MAD Lab. To order: Enter the address you'd like mapped in the "Order special instructions" field at checkout. Include any additional details or preferences for your map. Please allow 2 to 4 weeks for production. TMAPs are non-refundable. Produced by the MAD Lab at LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired, in collaboration with the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute.
