[nabs-l] mobility questions

[Jedi]

I don't know about those cane tips, but you might try a GPS solution to 
learn new areas you just can't seem to wrap your head around. Either 
that, or contact the San Francisco Lighthouse for the Blind for a 
Braille map of your neighborhood. Either of these might be useful tools 
to get you oriented.
