ClickAndGo Wayfinding Maps - The premier source for indoor and outdoor narrative route maps for blind and deafblind travelers. - InTouch Graphics, a leading designer and producer of tactile/low vision maps for the Blind, introduces ClickAndGo Wayfinding Maps, a new and fully accessible narrative mapping service. It is modeled after the often-used "directions" feature of Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, and MapQuest. With those services, sighted users make their selections for a starting point and destination from a drop-down menu of landmarks, and then click "GO" for driving directions. We have taken this information model, compiled additional adaptations that meet the specific needs of the blind and deafblind, and are now able to provide non-sighted travelers with customized "mobility-friendly" walking directions.
