# Digital Tactile Street Maps Come to Dot Pad
Dot Marketing
September 16, 2026
**Webinar Recorded Monday, September 14 2026**
### **For the first time on a tactile graphics device, digital tactile street maps are here!**
Developed by accessibility innovator **Dr. Josh Miele**, TMAP makes it possible to generate tactile street maps from a ZIP code or postcode.
We recently joined Dr. Josh Miele for a special session demonstrating TMAP on Dot Pad.
Josh takes you through how to create a tactile map and explore a location, followed by a detailed Q&A about the technology and what could come next.
## Explore a map yourself
With TMAP on Dot Pad, you can:
- Enter a ZIP code or postcode to generate a map
- Pan across streets and locations
- Zoom in and out
- Find intersections
- Explore what’s around you
This creates new possibilities for independent orientation and mobility.
You could explore a neighborhood before traveling there, get familiar with the streets around a new school or workplace, or build an understanding of an unfamiliar area before you arrive.
Instead of relying on someone else to describe a map, you can **explore it yourself**.
## A new kind of tactile mapping experience
Traditional tactile maps can provide valuable information about places and environments, but creating them can be time-consuming and access to specific locations can be limited.
TMAP changes what is possible by making it possible to generate tactile street maps from real-world locations.
Bringing TMAP to Dot Pad adds another dimension: the map is **digital, refreshable and interactive**.
You can move around the map, change the level of detail and explore different parts of a location. This has significant potential for independent exploration and orientation.
