Karen,

No, I do not mean to find the pole. I am talking about GPS is lack. I mean I 
walked to the
intersection then GPS tells me "turn 3 oclock. There was no traffic light. I am 
NOT dare to
walk across the street. I, can see the cars move. I have to walk back a block 
or next a
block then I can walk across with the traffic light.

I would like to see GPS will guide me across with the lights.

Leslie--

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.  Karen and Harpo
