There's another word I came across once which refers to your being able to know where you are in relation to speed walked. For example, I found I misjudged distances a lot when I swapped from dog to cane and vice versa ... but I can't remember now what it was ... (Scratching head won't work whilst typing! <Smiles>)

Hi, I am told I use it by my Guide Dog instructor but I am not concious of it myself. However, more conciously I am aware of walls and passing by doorways etc. When I asked my instructor, it is something to do with the sound and there may be other things involved too. I wouldn't say I'm skeptical, there is a guy in the US called Dan Kisch, he is one of the world's experts in echo location, which is what you are describing.
