Andy Skinner continues his work on accessible basemaps with his latest blog article A gray accessible basemap. The goal is to improve the legibility of the basemap so that someone with a visual impairment can access the content. In particular, to have the map meet WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards, and the US Federal ‘Section 508’ equivalent. The maps are single-color, so color-blindness is not an issue.
Hi, I just attended Esri Canada's No Limits: Making Your Web Apps Accessible to Everyone webinar, and they mentioned this and Andy Skinner's other accessible basemaps - can these please be added to the "Esri Default" Basemap group at least for the USA region? I'm an ArcGIS Online admin and would like to make them available to our users, and our Open Data sites via Hub, etc. I'm aware of being able to set up a custom basemap gallery with them as described such as here and here, but it would be nice to not have to do that if possible. I'm also confused conceptually by custom basemap galleries - i.e. if Esri creates additional new default basemaps, I'm assuming they won't get added to our custom default gallery, so we'd have to periodically check to see if Esri has any new ones to offer and manually add them to our custom gallery? Also, if we set up a custom basemap gallery for our organization, is that the same one that our ArcGIS Pro/ArcMap users would access by default when signed into ArcGIS Online? Thanks.
