The HaptiMap toolkit consists of a cross-platform software library with a C API (comprising a core, mantle and a set of geographical data plugins), together with a set of example programs and modular human-computer interface (HCI) components illustrating use of the toolkit on different mobile platforms, collectively known as the crust. The toolkit library is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, while the crust components are licensed more flexibly, often enabling developers to incorporate them in their own applications.

The toolkit provides a simple cross-platform API that abstracts the complexities of

• dealing with haptic / audio / visual input and output on a cross-platform basis
• retrieving, storing and manipulating geographic data

behind a simple interface, leaving user interface developers free to concentrate on maximising the usability and accessibility of their applications.
