[bcab] Re: text or more?

Hi,

Describe online is good but it doesn't give an overall picture of where you are going like a tactile map. In this case, the text and the map actually achieve different things. The text is able to describe things in detail that would be impossible on any kind of graphic, but the map gives you an overall idea of where things actually are in relation to each other. I find it really hard to remember all the East's and West's etc, but can easily picture where something is on a tactile map. It just goes to show that statements like text is best don't really help as different people work in different ways. Text is very good, but so are graphics when we have access to them. To have access to them means they must actually be understandable, not simply a representation of what the print graphic was!

Cheers
Dave
