[Tactile-Talk] Tactile airport maps

If it is buildings that people have wrote about there is a lot of information out there.  Like ask it to describe a basic McDonalds for a blind person to understand the layout.  It is pretty cool.

I hadn't seen this I will take a look about your embosser.  I can maybe =3D=  help you get it to work.  If it doesn't work with your mac you could get = =3D a Raspberry PI and run it that way.  I am kind of shocked it doesn't = =3D work.  Have you tried the ARM version of Brailleblaster with it.  It = =3D should support it.  I found a fun thing to do with Air ports.  If I am = =3D going to an Airport.  I write ChatGpt or another AI and tell it I am = =3D going to for example Louisville International Airport.  And I am going = =3D to be taking Delta.  Please give me directions from the ride share area=  =3D to get to the delta counter and the tsa for a blind person.  It does = =3D amazingly well.

I believe I read recently that a company, or maybe it was the MAD Lab at = =3D =3D3D Lighthouse SF, is offering airport maps in tactile form. =3D It= =3D3DE2=3D3D80=3D3D99s =3D3D possible these are simply files for tactile = =3D embossers though. Has anyone =3D3D else seen this article?

I ask because I wrote my Masters thesis on tactile airports maps in =3D3D = =3D 2002. Back then we were using puff paper and to tactilely emboss things=  =3D =3D3D was a long process with expensive software.=3D3D20

I currently have an Embraille embosser from about 15 years ago that can =3D=  =3D3D no longer work with my Mac. When it could, it did very decent =3D em= bossing. =3D3D I=3D3DE2=3D3D80=3D3D99d love to have a book of airport maps,=  =3D from the basic layout =3D3D to terminal by terminal graphics if such = =3D things exist. Any direction =3D3D here would be hugely appreciated.=3D3=
