Question: how can you operate a cane/dog, gps/bn, and mini guide all at the same time? I had a hard enough time with just the cane and mini guide, but I was amazed when I had an opportunity to use the mini guide (a device like it anyway). I avoided countless collisions with people in a very crowded school that my cane would not have picked up because of how short I have to hold the cane in those crowds. I have just not had the money to get a mini guide, plus I have found my cane to be quite sufficient... until I run into something (figuratively and literally) where I realize that one of those magic Milky Way bars (as another poster put it) would have been quite handy. Also, for those interested, the device sends out an ultrasonic beam from one of the two front ports. The other port senses the reflection of that beam and sends the strength of the reflection to a processor which tells the vibrating motor how fast to go (in my case it used pulses; the closer together the pulses were, the closer the object).
Have a great day, Alex

This is what I use as well. The GPS can only be as accurate as
is
humanly possible and it will not help you find anything thatspecifically. The mini guide has saved me many times trying to
find
poles, benches etc. It's thankfully not too expensive. www.senderogroup.com Good luck!
