[QUOTE=" Is there a way to enable "walk assist" or is it permanently disabled?[/QUOTE]
Congrats on the XM700. I bought one in Wisconsin last August, and I'm very happy with it.
The Walk Assist on mine works, I think because it was set up in Europe. Oddly, Walk Assist zooms up to around 12mph, far faster than I'd care to walk it.
I'm hoping that a firmware update will enable Walk Assist for all XM700's in the USA (preferably at an actual walking speed).
Best wishes,
David Thomas
