Abstract
A method, system, and computer-usable medium are disclosed for providing navigation assistance within a user interface. A request for look-ahead navigation assistance is received and the user's current location within the application is determined. Application state data associated with the user's current location within the application is processed to generate possible destination locations within the application. The resulting possible location destinations within the application are then contextually displayed to the user within a user interface as graphical elements.
