Hi Folks, wonder if you can help me here.  I'm a lifetime blind/except for
light perception,  longtime ham who's thankfully now working in a _large
super center type facility. I carry an Icom IC-t90A with me, and I'm Trying
To Figure a dependable time efficient way to get from one established point
to another established point in that facility where much of the interveening
landscape/storescape constantly changes.
Is there any kind of transmitter-receiver system, or just transmitting
device which emits a carrier with tone or anything else, which would give
you an audible indication, IE, pitch rising or falling, pulses increasing or
decreasing in speed,  or something similar, as you were getting closer to,
or farther away from  the transmitter?  A stronger S/strength signal on a
meter won't help, unless a sighted person walks with me, which defeats the
whole purpose here.  Fellow employees, managers, and other Folks both have
been, and are very helpful, in terms of rendering assistance to and from
places in the store, but I don't like to take people "off task" to do it,
and placement of racks and so forth is changeable enough that simply
counting steps, etc, doesn't cut it.  Any suggestions you have would be
greatly appreciated, thanks, Danny Dyer, Wb4idu.
