# Proximity Walk

Proximity Walk lets canvassers create walk lists on the fly based on their current GPS location and your NationBuilder database. Instead of relying on a pre-built list, you can discover nearby contacts and start canvassing immediately.

{% hint style="info" %}
Proximity Walk must be enabled for your user type in [App Customization](/product-tour-or-hq/app-customization.md). It is enabled by default for Campaign Managers and Default Users.
{% endhint %}

## Starting a Proximity Walk

1. Go to the **Canvass** section
2. Tap **New Walk** and select **Proximity Walk**
3. Set your desired radius to define how far from your location to search
4. Optionally apply filters to narrow results
5. Tap **Start** to begin canvassing the discovered contacts

## Setting the Radius

The radius control lets you define how far from your current location FieldEdge should search for contacts. A larger radius will find more people but may include contacts that are further away.

## Filtering Results

You can filter Proximity Walk results by:

* **Distance** — sort contacts by how close they are to you
* **Tags** — only show contacts with specific tags
* **Support level** — filter by support level (1–5)
* **Priority level** — filter by priority
* **Assigned to me** — only show contacts assigned to your account

Results are shown in a list view or on a map, sorted by distance from your current location. You can then start a walk directly from these results.

{% hint style="info" %}
Proximity Walk requires an active data connection and GPS access. See [Ensuring FieldEdge Access to GPS Location](/everything-else/other-guides/ensuring-fieldedge-access-to-gps-location-on-your-device.md) if you're having trouble with location services.
