That brings up a question. Is there a good resource for finding out the latest available in mobility technology? I'm wondering what's out there or in the works. It just seems that there has to be a better way of navigating other than swinging a pole around or putting your trust in lower mammals. (especially for more distant range finding etc) Any pointers would be appreciated. Anyone with experience using something other than a cane or dog who wishes to contact me off list as I'm sure this is off topic would also be appreciated.

Hi this is Karen and Harpo my guidedog. I found a solution for not finding traffic light poles. I use the Miniguide to find traffic light poles when there is no other way or point of interest. I have used the Mowat sensor in the past for the same thing. It finds things not otherwise obvious to a blind person and sometimes scan in front of me for construction can feel how high fences are, and where, and other such not so obvious items like benches in parks hard to find without sighted assist. This may not help you, but I thought I'd mention it.
