Hi Tony,
I would be very surprised if the RNIB in England doesn't sell tactile globes
(not cheap, of course, if purchased outside of the UK). I think I bought
one from there more than 40 years ago - don't know where it is now - but I
think they have produced a different and better one since.
Sean.

Hi Tony, Joan Ann and all.
There is an app called Talking Atlas available from the app store. It is a
paid app and I haven't tried it so this is not a recommendation, just
drawing it to your attention. Search for it on www.applevis.com where you
will find some comments. I note that it hasn't been updated since 2015.
Anyone out there tried it?
Paul

Hi Tony
I remember in school we had a tactile globe. I also had a jigsaw of the map
of Ireland and someone had very kindly labeled the counties. It was a great
way to learn where counties were situated.
I came across the following link which might help

Hi everyone
Back in the schooldays, I remember many of the classrooms in St Joseph's had
tactile globes. There were also tactile maps with braille labels; I think I
remember a map of the world and a map of Ireland.
I'd really like to get my hands on a tactile globe, but I'm not even sure
such things still exist.
Does anyone have any idea where I might start the search?
Best wishes
Tony
