Description

Annotate a map with three kinds of tools- a waypoint (one that can be used in multiple maps), a note, or a path/route. The flow of the story is less apparent, unless one does it with a combination of routes to show a path. It is possible to share ones map and also explore other peoples' maps.

Accessibility Testing Results

Clearly not all the elements have alt tags and the maps are those powered by Google with similar mouse over text and size control. Added features cannot be read by a screenreader. The main links are accessible but the maps cannot be manipulated by keyboard only. Text sizes can be small but zoom is good.

#	Test	Score	Summary
1	Login, Signup and Other Forms Accessible		The signin and signup forms are both javascript-driven and there are no labels. They may cause problems for screenreader users but they are keyboard accessible
2	Image ALT Attributes		Very few critical images have alternative text.
3	Link Target Definitions		All links, including images which would otherwise be ambiguous, have titles to uniquely identify them.
4	Frame Titles and Layout		No frames or iframes, which can be disorientating for screen-readers, are used in the design.
5	Removal of Stylesheet		The map does not work without its associated stylesheet.
6	Audio/Video Features		It is possible to add a short description to the points on the map.
7	Video/animations - audio descriptions		There is no chance to add audio descriptions but text can be added.
8	Appropriate use of Tables		Tables are used to construct this site - this may cause some screenreaders to read the content in the wrong order in this case the choice of maps and not the content in the maps.
9	Tab Orderings Correct and Logical		Tab order appears to be logical and makes access possible by keyboard users. However, tables are used for layout so some ordering may not be the way one would wish to work.
10	Page Functionality with Keyboard		This product requires a drag-and-drop operation with a pointing device to pan around the map.
11	Accessibility of Text Editors		There is no rich text editor in this product.
12	Appropriate Feedback with Forms		Feedback is poor when the user attempts to log in with incorrect details - especially if they make two invalid attempts.
13	Contrast and Colour Check		No contrast issues.
14	Page Integrity when Zooming		The website maintains the layout and usability of all critical areas perfectly when zoomed.
15	Text size, style, blinking elements and Readability		The majority of text on the site is size ten, which is readable but may be uncomfortable for some.
