Hi all,

I'm  also blind and a wheelchair user. I did use an power chair, but since a
year I'm succesfully using a manual wheelchair with a one arm drive system.
It is a very lightweight chair and because of its compact build I can easily
use it inside as well. I can use my long cane outside, but I prefer the
company of my guidedog Beau. She learned to guide me along the powerchair,
but after finding out about the posibility of the one arm drive system, the
choice for this new chair was an easy one. To learn new routes, I use gps.
Trekker to hear the streats surrounding me and afterwards loadstone gps on
familiar routes, for several reasons.

Best regards,
Petra van Driel
