In this chapter we focus on processes that underlie successful wayfinding by those traveling without the help of vision. Particular emphasis is placed on how travelers develop and use cognitive maps. We discuss both the cognitive mapping process and wayfinding, emphasizing the skills that have to be developed with and without the aid of assistive technology. Both experimental and real world examples are used to illustrate the skills, abilities, and processes needed for successful travel without vision. Throughout, our emphasis is on wayfinding by adult populations.
