<br>
The key would be making the map view export itself as a hierarchy of AccessibilityNodeInfo objects. One challenge would be dividing all map features, even things like curving roads, into a series of rectangles. You would then create an AccessibilityNodeInfo for each of these rectangles and set a meaningful content description via setContentDescription().<br>
<br>
There might need to be a bit of support on the screen reader side, but the result would be a map that works both visually and accessibly.<br>
<br>
No time to work on such a project myself, but I'm happy to provide whatever screen reader support I can in Spiel. This would be a neat project.<div><div><br>

Audio-tactile maps on smart phones<br>
<br>
I would like to have an OSM map accessible for visually impaired users<br>
with a program that makes sounds when you move your finger over the map.<br>
A different sound for the different map items (roads, water and<br>
buildings) and that speaks the names on the map. By moving your finger<br>
over the map you know what is where on the map.<br>
You know where your finger is on the device and you hear what is under<br>
your finger so you can make an image in your mind what is where.<br>
<br>
If the map is centered around you (with GPS) you can find out what is<br>
around you and where to go.<br>
<br>
You would not need special hardware, just a smart phone with gps and<br>
touchscreen and one that knows its orientation.<br>
By adapting one of the open source programs that use OSM maps (like<br>
Navit) you would not need to completely write a navigation and map<br>
viewing program. You would just need to develop a plugin/module for such<br>
a program to satisfy our needs.<br>
<br>
I have also posted the idea in the Navit forum on <a href="http://sourceforge.net" target="_blank">sourceforge.net</a><br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/navit/forums/forum/512959" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/<u></u>projects/navit/forums/forum/<u></u>512959</a><br>
<br>
Does anyone have ideas about how to organize and program (write the<br>
code) this?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Robert<br>
