I have been in discussion with my low vision case worker about using a symbol cane in unfamiliar environments as that filled me with dread being newly registered as partially sighted. I can appreciate better now after reading your article the value of using one in certain situations.

My white stick is also mainly to be found in my handbag, neatly folded, but makes an appearance when in strange places.
