You tested my map application a few weeks ago.

Would you mind giving dev.mapcomplete.org/ another try? I think most of the a11y-issues you mentioned should be fixed, and I'd love to see it validated.


MapComplete - editable, thematic maps with OpenStreetMap

MapComplete is a platform to visualize OpenStreetMap on a specific topic and to easily contribute data back to it.

@Pietervdvn :mapcomplete: Awesome the live region improvements sound nice. The #accessibility user experience feels great to me. Now the app is working fine for me on linux with #orca running in both chromium and firefox. I haven't yet managed to test it on windows with#NVDA @NV Access
I am not yet sure, perhaps you can give me an advice regarding this however now when scrolling the map we are getting distance and the direction from the navigation point to the map center spoken along with three closest features on the map. Have we lost the ability to hear distance from the map center to those close map features?
I'm thinking the way it's working now might be usefull when used on a mobile device with the current location updated as I move around.
And ability to hear distance from the center to the map features might be usefull when browsing the map on a computer. In this scenario I'm thinking I would use the map center as a replacement for the navigation point finding out what I should do in order to move to a certain map feature.
Or perhaps this is already possible and I just haven't discovered it all. Can you please try to describe how you think it's best used?

@NVAccess Now that the workweek has started, I have time for your feedback ;)

Great to hear that you can use it!
If you want a new challenge: try to create an OpenStreetMap-account and try to make a change to some object. I'd be really happy if you managed to do this!

I have re-added the aria-live which both reads distance to the map center _and_ to the current location. Pressing tab will also iterate through closeby features and tell their distances
