Snow is the killer, I think, because you lose kerbs as well as the echo
going!
I was interested one night when, out of the ordinary routine, I had to
go to a friend's house in the middle of the night. This was down a path
which, although quite narrow and it was gravel, the path itself wasn't
particularly (shut in). However, in the middle of the night I was much
more conscious of the density of that path and it was as if it was
really gloomy! (I don't see dark and light so I just make of that what I
do! - an interesting experience!)

Hi Sean,
And fog. I tell you what? When it is foggy, I have real trouble with Echo
Location, because it muffles sound, as does snow.
All the best

interesting topic of discussion, another factor that can affect the
viability of echo location is chabnges in atmospheric pressure as this can
alter the way sound travels to a lesser or greater degree.

Hi. Did you ever try this app? All I found was a bunch of hype, a link
to a web site with even more hype and some unlabelled buttons. It
takes a special kind of ineptitude to include unlabelled buttons in an
app aimed squarely at the blind.
