    The agent go by many areas, like walkable, street, etc. How can I know the area it is currently stepping?

    Use the NavMeshAgent.SamplePathPosition api:

    Code (csharp):
    1. // SampleGround.cs
    2. using UnityEngine;
    3. #if UNITY_EDITOR
    4. using UnityEditor;
    5. #endif
    6.  
    7. [RequireComponent (typeof (NavMeshAgent))]
    8. public class SampleGround : MonoBehaviour {
    9.    NavMeshAgent agent;
    10.    NavMeshHit hit = new NavMeshHit();
    11.  
    12.    void Start () {
    13.      agent = GetComponent<NavMeshAgent> ();  
    14.    }
    15.    
    16.    void Update () {
    17.      // sample directly under agent
    18.      agent.SamplePathPosition(NavMesh.AllAreas, 0.0f, out hit);
    19.      Debug.Log ("Agent is currently on " + hit.mask);
    20.  
    21. #if UNITY_EDITOR
    22.      // in editor show the name too
    23.      var names = GameObjectUtility.GetNavMeshAreaNames ();
    24.      for (var i = 0; i < names.Length; ++i)
    25.      {
    26.        int mask = 1 << NavMesh.GetAreaFromName(names[i]);
    27.        if ((hit.mask & mask) != 0)
    28.        {
    29.          Debug.Log (".. that's \"" + names[i] + "\"");
    30.        }
    31.      }
    32. #endif
    33.    }
    34. }
