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? http://edcsns17.cr.usgs.gov/EarthExplorer/ http://edc.usgs.gov/Webglis/glisbin/finder_main.pl?dataset_name=MAPS_LAR GE http://edc.usgs.gov/doc/edchome/ndcdb/ndcdb.html Thank you, Shawn Schuur EROS Data Center (605)594-2776
