So, yeah, so far, this new map thing sounds good in theory but way too complicated in implementation… #NFB25

@AuroraNebulosa As I am listening to a virtually right now, I can understand what you’re saying. I wonder, if seeing it in person would make it better for us to understand.

@wmj1102 Sounds like you would need a ton of training to even begin to use this and ultimately about as much as you would to get 100% proficient at it as you would to get proficient at JAWS 100%. #NFB25

@AuroraNebulosa @wmj1102 I found it a bit confusing as well, but doesn’t it take a while for a sighted person to learn how to read a map? I know it’s something that members of my family struggled with, so this might be the same thing, it’s just something we would need to get used to. #NFB25

@wmj1102 I’d say there has to be a better (i.e., simpler) way to implement this concept… #NFB25

@wmj1102 Wonder how much input this guy has actually had from other blind people. Dude sounds super smart and super techie and possibly super aspie and may think that, just because he can use it means that everyone else automatically can. 🤔 #NFB25
