I have a map that displays custom markers with filtering options and different markers colors based on the filtering options. Clicking a marker displays a text bubble with a picture as expected.
What is required to make a google map comply with level A. Obviously a screen reader version will be far less exciting.
What do I need to do to make my google map comply with WCAG 2.0 level A?
EDIT:
I think I need a solution for:
1.1 TEXT ALTERNATIVES
-Map has hundreds of markers, and not accessible because they exist as js objects
1.3 ADAPTABLE
-It's not possible to detect a screen reader and adapt accordingly
2.1 KEYBOARD ACCESSIBLE
-Google maps does not provide hot-keys although I'm sure it's possible to wire some up with js.
4.1 COMPATIBLE
-This would rule out any js hacks to make google maps respond to hotkeys.
What's best practice? What about linking to a list of my markers as text via an accessible version link?
My solution for this is going to be:
This is a section of the WCAG 2.0 that talks about linking to accessible versions:
