[Tactile-Talk] Tactile airport maps

I hadn't seen this I will take a look about your embosser.  I can maybe help you get it to work.  If it doesn't work with your mac you could get a Raspberry PI and run it that way.  I am kind of shocked it doesn't work.  Have you tried the ARM version of Brailleblaster with it.  It should support it.  I found a fun thing to do with Air ports.  If I am going to an Airport.  I write ChatGpt or another AI and tell it I am going to for example Louisville International Airport.  And I am going to be taking Delta.  Please give me directions from the ride share area to get to the delta counter and the tsa for a blind person.  It does amazingly well.

I believe I read recently that a company, or maybe it was the MAD Lab at = Lighthouse SF, is offering airport maps in tactile form. It=E2=80=99s = possible these are simply files for tactile embossers though. Has anyone = else seen this article?

I ask because I wrote my Masters thesis on tactile airports maps in = 2002. Back then we were using puff paper and to tactilely emboss things = was a long process with expensive software.=20

I currently have an Embraille embosser from about 15 years ago that can = no longer work with my Mac. When it could, it did very decent embossing. = I=E2=80=99d love to have a book of airport maps, from the basic layout = to terminal by terminal graphics if such things exist. Any direction = here would be hugely appreciated.=20
