The lack of a geographic overview not only hinders exploration of unfamiliar neighborhoods but can also impede a geospatial understanding of local, regional, and international phenomena. \u003cem\u003eTactile Mapping: Cartography for People with Visual Impairments\u003c\/em\u003e aims to bring together the research on cartography, mapmakers, and tactile map users by exploring the subject from a multidisciplinary perspective. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA collaboration by skilled professionals, domain experts, and people with visual impairments, \u003cem\u003eTactile Mapping\u003c\/em\u003e offers fresh insights from three perspectives: user experience, scientific research, and practical implementation. Through this collection, cartographers and other geographic practitioners can delve into the foundations and methods of presenting geographic information for greater accessibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Vincent van Altena\u003c\/strong\u003e, Senior Researcher at Kadaster (the Netherlands), is a geospatial expert with a background in theology and GIS.
