14. A method comprising:
-
providing a graphical user interface having a plurality of user-selectable features on a touch screen display of a portable electronic device; detecting a touch event at a first location associated with a first user-selectable feature on the touch screen display; rendering a first navigation indicator at the first user-selectable feature in the graphical user interface in response to detecting the touch event at the first location; prior to detecting confirmation of selection of the first user-selectable feature, detecting a touch event at a second location associated with a second user-selectable feature on the touch screen display; rendering a second navigation indicator at the second user-selectable feature in response to detecting movement of the touch event to a second location on the touch screen display; determining if a confirmation of selection is received from release of a switch actuated by the touch screen display with the touch event at the second location; and selecting the second feature in response to determination of confirmation of selection.
