[accessibleimage] what about?

Hi,
What about then taking these two mails and combining them in a way? I mean from Google's map directions one gets a type of line map and from Rachel Magario map information. Couldn't visually impaired persons make their own maps with the aid of a GPS and share them over the net? I might be talking through my hat since I don't have a GPS only covet one but from what I have read is that one can plot in ones own point of interest (POI) and then create a trace file and the create a map from this. Either swell out or emboss with a Tiger. At the points of interest one could add the extra information, sound, smell etc. One could end up with two types of maps, a line (list) map like the Google direction information except it would have the added information and a geographical map from the GPS trace file. Or what about a site where local way finding information is on line sent in from visually impaired? One doesn't need a GPS for this, just perhaps a note taker to help remember what one notices. 
Any thoughts?
Best,
Lisa
