RE: server side images for geographic mapping data

We have a customer services center that can be used to order any products
over the phoneline, email or fax or through the website.

Is there a call center or help line (phone or email) where people could
call
in for information?

Hi, I work for the USGS at EROS Data Center.

We have a huge problem and I was looking for some feedback on what to do
for
accessibility and Section 508.

We are a satellite and aerial photography organization that generates
our
online maps through server-side maps that are dynamically created via a
map
server based on latitude and longitude.

Obviously a blind user would not be able to see the map or know what
they
were clicking on and keyboard strokes are limited for navigation.  We do
have alternative searching mechanisms such as searching by a place name
or
by typing in the coordinates but is necessary for the map server to
dynamically map out the chosen coordinates.

What do we need to do to make it accessible?
