Navigation options

Find your way—your way.

No two people navigate the world in exactly the same way. That’s why The Dot Experience offers multiple map options, all designed to meet a wide range of preferences, abilities and accessibility needs. As a fully accessible museum, we believe every visitor should have the freedom to navigate independently and comfortably.

Whether you explore by touch, screen reader, app or print, you’ll have the tools to move through The Dot Experience with confidence.

Choose the navigation that works for you:

  • Tactile maps

    Navigate exhibits through touch using tactile maps developed specifically for The Dot Experience. Available at the entrance, Orientation Station and throughout the museum, these maps provide an additional layer of accessibility for visitors who prefer nonvisual navigation tools.

    Use GoodMaps, an accessible indoor navigation app, to receive turn-by-turn directions throughout The Dot Experience and APH. Designed with inclusion in mind, GoodMaps provides real-time guidance for visitors who are blind or low vision and allows the user to navigate independently and confidently.
