Speaking of maps, anyone know where I could get a tactile political map of
California?  
Thanks

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.
