Tactile maps are an important means for the education and mobility of people who are visually impaired (that is, are blind or have low vision). Because of the importance of tactile maps, it is essential that they are accessible to people who are visually impaired and correctly interpreted. There has been considerable research on the design of these maps in recent decades, providing answers to most of the questions that have arisen about their intelligibility (for example, the use of symbols) and the implementation of uniform standards to make the maps generally accessible. A number of methods have been developed worldwide for producing tactile maps. This document discusses the production of tactile maps.
