John, Not had any mobility training since moving to Perth, but my wife, who
is partially-sighted, is able to give me quite useful help by using Google
Maps or Google Earth (can't remember which).
I've done quite a number of journeys where I've recorded her instructions
and then been able to have a shot at the route supplemented by the phone. I
realise that this is only of use if you've got an intelligent pair of
reasonably working eyes, but it's helped me quite a lot in recent times.

Subject: [access-uk] mobility
Hi there,
thought I would change the subject line hear.
I have tried to get a mobility person in Leeds to show me arround the
location where our chess club plays.
apparrently it would take six to eight weeks for maybe some one to come out.
if you can see you can take short cuts through the rail way station
now I can maybe do this with my satnav but even me likes to actually do a
route with a good mobility person.
i then can put things in like the door of the pub where we play and the
nearest bus stop.
I find the centre of Leeds a real maize so if these systems make things
better for us then what's great.
what amazes me though I never seem to be asked by developers to give
feedback about these things.
in fact when I last tried to phone the council there was no way to actually
speak to a human being.
so soon with all the cut backs we will just have to manage.
