It must be noted that Jerry states he isn’t happier than when he has a good cappuccino in one hand and a tactile map in the other!

    What will you learn?

    • Discover the value of tactile maps
    • Developing systematic strategies in your approach to exploration of tactile maps
    • Gaining deeper understanding of what a tactile map presents such as: symbols, line types, labels and distance, direction and environmental features.
