Does anyone know where I could find a good braille map? I have one called Tactile Map Of Europe, but it's so old that it's falling apart and even when I found the latest version of it online, it still had the Soviet Union! I'm looking for a modern, up-to-date map, idealy of Greece, though I'll take one of Europe if nothing else is available. Also, I used to have this beautiful braille atlass, but no longer have it cause I had to give it back to the school. So any help with that would be appreciated. Finally, if anyone knows where I can send a printed map of Greece to be brailled, please let me know. Btw, this is strictly for personal use. Thanks.

I know that National Braille Press has done a mpa of the middle east, and I think you can get some braille maps from the American Printing House for the Blind.

There is also a group called Princeton Braillists or something like that. I know they have Braille maps of different countries and regions of the world. Personally, I've been wanting one of the U.S. with the 2-letter state abbreviations within the outline of each state.
