For good examples of how text can be used instead of maps see Terry
Robinsons describe on-line site.

The point I was making is that text (where applicable) is best for blind
users.  Of course a computer will always have graphics for sighted people
but it will always be easier for blind people to read text rather than
graphics.  I don't think maps would be suitable to turn into text although a
flow chart certainly could.

without trial and probably being tortured?
