Hi,

I'm not sure it was those maps particularly, but that type, yes.  I was 
sighted and in mainstream school back then but I thought this sort of thing 
would be used generally for blind children these days as they are so cool 
but I've had no luck after some web searches.

I wouldn't presume to steal them from your wall!

Hi:

I presume that you are referring to the range which the RNIB discontinued
some years ago.
I still have the physical and political range on a wall at home - but not up
for grabs I am afraid.

Hi all,

I remember when I was a kid at school that there was a map of Europe on the
wall made out of moulded plastic that meant you could feel the topography of

the continent.  Now as a blindey, I could really use something like this for

different regions of the world, even if it was something less elaborate.

Does anyone know of available tactile maps of the world, I don't read
Braille so something more instinctive would be great.  Any help would be
most appreciated.

Cheers
Karl
