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?

Hi #accessibility mastodon,
I’ve been building a #fediverse web app, “PieFed”, for the last few months and recently put a bit of effort into making it more accessible. It is almost WCAG 2.1 AA compliant now.
However I have no lived experience of using the web with disability so any feedback in this area is most welcome. Please give it a try at piefed.social and let me know what you think, from an accessibility perspective.

Making data visualizations accessible - TPGi
Data visualizations aim to make information easier to understand through visual presentation, but they can have specific accessibility implications for people with disabilities.Ricky Onsman (TPGi)
HTML is the format in my eyes. It can be opened nearly everywhere without having to install anything. It can be styled and printed without losing its semantic and machine readable properties.
I know of 1 exception: Microsoft's browser based collaboration suites. Those just show you the source and won't let you view them or open them in a new window.

Just sharing this article of mine which was just posted today govloop.com/community/blog/pdf…
#PDFs are a real problem for #accessibility. They are also a real challenge for any government working to provide a modern, digital experience for their citizens.
We have to build to alternatives to PDFs.

The folks over at @koena have been bullied by French #overlay vendor #FACILiti (and are not the only ones). France does not have the same anti-SLAPP protections as I did in my own case.
