Tactual strip maps as navigational aids

Golledge, R.G.·1991·Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness

Abstract

This article reviews the history of and the theories behind the use of tactual maps by blind and visually impaired travelers. It discusses textual patterns, symbols, and graphics and the differences between conventional geographic-cartographic maps and strip maps used as navigational aids. Current advances include disposable, quick-to-produce, and easy-to-update strip maps, as well as devices for their production.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
