These goals are especially challenging in the case of geo-referenced statistical data that many U.S. government agencies supply. We present technical and user-interface design challenges in accommodating users with low-end technology (slow network connection and low-end machine) and users who are blind or vision-impaired. Our solutions are presented and future work is discussed.}, keywords = {Technical Report}, url = {http://drum.lib.umd.edu/handle/1903/6502}, author = {Zhao,Haixia and Plaisant, Catherine and Shneiderman, Ben} }
