[Blindmath] Charts, graphs, and maps on iOS devices

[Ben Humphreys]

Ed,

this is really cool, especially considering how mediocre SPSS is at 
accessability and how interesting it will be to compare the idea of a 
tactile electronic map to the voice GPSs we're used to.

Color me in.

Thanks

Ben Humphreys
