Review of Wayfaring

Wayfaring Reviewed 10 Aug 2009 · Average score 51%

Summary

Clearly not all the elements have alt tags and the maps are those powered by Google with similar mouse over text and size control. Added features cannot be read by a screenreader. The main links are accessible but the maps cannot be manipulated by keyboard only. Text sizes can be small but zoom is good.
