The system may receive a selection of a geographical location on the electronic map, and in response to receiving the selection, automatically display, on the electronic map, a visual representation of direct navigational directions from the current location of the electronic device to the selected geographical location. The display may be a touch-sensitive display, and the electronic device may receive a selection of a geographical location on the electronic map via input on the touch-sensitive display.
