Subject: [access-uk] World globes
Hi all -
I'm trying to track down a world globe that can be used by the totally
blind. I've tried the RNIB [yes, I should have known better!] they've
nothing, and seemed perplexed even by the enquiry! I've Googled for
it, and found [using the translation tool] a Braille globe on a Dutch
website, that sounds quite good, in that it has continents that can be
detached for closer scrutiny, and put back in place, it also has quite
a lot of other useful sounding features; however, it is 225 Euros! I
didn't have that much in mind when wanting such a thing.
I do understand the difficulty with keeping a globe up-to-date etc,
but anyway, anybody got any suggestions where to try?
Thanks -
Andy
