Walking Assist

What it does

Walking Assist continuously announces obstacles in your direction of travel and suggests ways around them, helping you understand the path ahead.

When to use it

When traveling alone, consider keeping Walking Assist on to monitor obstacles and road conditions ahead. Use it only as an aid, not as a replacement for a white cane. It is suited to checking conditions at a medium distance so you can prepare in advance. At close range, a white cane is still more direct and effective.
