are these tips just for street, path, level walking?

My back was horribly unstable, with severe sciatica...this cane allowed me to be mobile and continue to teach. It proved suitable for me on all surfaces, but I have stopped using it after successful major surgery.

I LOVE these tips. I got them while we were in Hilton Head so that I could use on pavement, sand, dirt, dunes and not have to worry about switching. For street walking or hills, I prefer the single point tips. For varied paths, these are terrific

Thanks, for the post. After reading your post It seems that a GPS would be of little assistances in cities so I am not going to get a GPS for my wife and I on our 21 day walking tours of the cities of nothern Italy. After talking with friends about the driving and parking in the cities we will travel by train from one city to another then use printed maps and guide books. Thanks again.

No! I have a huge crack where one side of the sidewalk is higher than the other. The cause is from a raised root beneath my patio that I routinely hit with my Volaris, and the VOLARIS HAS NEVER TIPPED OVER. As I'm holding on with both hands, using the hand-brakes when necessary, tipping does not occur. The same holds true on other sidewalks and pavement. I have never had problems with the Volaris tipping over. This rollator was built in Sweden with its old and new walkways, and has been imported into countries in Europe, which have cobblestone streets often without sidewalks. If it tipped over, it would not be sought after in those countries. Obviously people who have never met a rollator that did not tip over, are not well traveled to countries in Europe. There, streets and sidewalks are more permanent as they were built during the Roman Empire centuries ago, than in the USA...the reason for the "cobblestones." This rollator, unlike others, does not collapse because it folds only when the strap is pulled up. Whereas many cheaply built machines, can cause injury to the user. I have had no problem with the Volaris, whatsoever. This is the best designed and best built rollator anywhere. It is definitely worthy of the price and then some. The large wheels help me walk through unmowed grass in the backyard where I routinely take seed out to feed the birds. Even roots in the ground and loose sticks do not upset this baby. I now have severe osteoporosis and am recovering from a pelvic fracture and my third compression fracture of my lumbar spine. Exercise is critical and walking with my Volaris is part of my exercise routine. I strongly recommend this S7 Rollator.

I use my cane with this tip every day and though to just feel the tip you would say it is rigid, when you walk with it there is flexion in the feet. I have several canes and I have this tip on all of them. The feet will definitely flex enough to follow the terrain. I really recommend it.

Hi, the outside (depending on ground level) is tall enough to be able to walk under. You can also adjust the height at each corner as far as I can remember. It is suitable for almost anything you would want to use it for. I have only used mine a few times and am very happy with it. I hope this is helpful.

I bought the LEKI walking tips for my KEYTZ walking stick. They work great! You might contact the Atlas company to find out for sure as to whether or not they will fit your walking stick.

I bought these maps for Japan. Found that it only covered major cities. Ended up not using it at all. Years ago I bought a Garmin GPS from Amazon that had the European maps pre-installed. Did use that in Europe and it was a godsend. Europe, like Japan, lacks street signs a lot. However, neither was very good for walking. You'd need a GPS designed for walking. The Garmin has a setting for walking, though I never used it. Sorry for not being of much help.

I think there is no perfect answer. For city and walking on sidewalks, this is wonderful. It won't do well on rocks or uneven ground. I am happy?

Most GPS's you can select a route via you put in the city's you want to go through and that is the way the GPS takes you. Those are call waypoints along the route. But as I said before, I would not buy this GPS.

They don't come with tips. If you are just shooting for fun (which is why I do it) get the cheapest ones you can find.

The tips that come with this unit are for 1 person. It does come with 2 tips but they are for different purposes.

Yes, there is a quick start mode that just allows you to start walking and set speed and incline. I did not think I would use the programs either but the level 1 if each program is really easy and the golf course program is a good walking ome. Even in a program you can change the speed and incline.

Hi. Yes you can use the standard tips. I have not had any issues with them.

Very Accurate and if you mark a way point you can get back there within 3 feet. Just mark the point where you start from, it's a straight line direction but if you are in an open field it can get you back without a problem.

Yes you can. I found that maneuvering in a "straight" line posed no great challenge. However, moving around in an area with scattered plants would probably require more getting up/sitting down. I found the telescoping seat super.

You can adjust the length of these, as well as stretch them, so they can go which ever direction you need. have used them across, up and down, as well as caty-corner.

There is pedestrian mode. My husband used this in NY city this past week to walk around town. I didn't ask for details but he seemed happy with its functionality.
