[Electronics-Talk] Mini guide

[Brett Boyer]

It can be a useful tool for doorways, or pathways.
finding openings or even using in long lines of people where you don't want
to be breathing down there neck.
I've only used It a few times myself.

I've used a Mini Guide before.  The instructions recommend one only use it
in familiar areas.  Especially if you aren't that good of a cane user.

I found it alright.  But it really didn't help me much.  I walk too fast for
the device.  My cane would hit an obstacle a couple of steps before the
guide detected it.
So I abandon using it.

So my advice is to make sure you can return it if you purchase it.  That way
you can see if it's for you.
