1. A mobile electronic device, comprising:
- a display device having a screen;
a memory operable to store one or more modules; and
a processor operable to execute the one or more modules to;
detect an input associated with a menu of an electronic map of a map navigation application,determine an input type for the detected input, andwhen the input type is a hover input, cause the processor to execute a menu expand function, the menu expand function causing the menu to expand to reveal a menu having at least one menu item related to the electronic map of the map navigation application.

Abstract
Hover based control of a navigation user interface of a mobile electronic device is described. In one or more implementations, an input associated with a menu of an electronic map is detected, and an input type determined. When the input type is a hover input, a menu expand function is executed. The menu expand function causes the menu to expand and reveal a menu having at least one menu item related to the electronic map. When the input type is a touch input, a select function is executed. The select function causes a selection of the at least one menu item of the electronic map of the map navigation application.

13. A handheld personal navigation device, comprising:
-
a display device having a capacitive touch screen; a memory operable to store one or more modules; and a processor operable to execute the one or more modules to; receive a signal from the capacitive touch screen that indicates a change in dielectric properties at a location on the capacitive touch screen associated with a menu displayed with an electronic map of a map navigation application, based on a change in the dielectric properties of the capacitive touch screen, determine an input type, and when the change in the dielectric properties of the capacitive touch screen indicates a hover input, cause the processor to execute a menu expand function, the menu expand function causing the menu to expand and reveal a menu having at least one menu item for controlling a feature of the electronic map of the map navigation application. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method comprising:
-
detecting a hover input associated with a menu indicator displayed with an electronic map of a map navigation application; upon detecting the hover input, causing a processor to execute a menu expand function, wherein the menu expand function causes the menu indicator to expand and reveal a menu having at least one menu item for the electronic map; while revealing the menu, detecting a touch input associated with the at least one map control for the electronic map; and upon detecting the touch input associated with the at least one map control, causing the processor to execute a select function, wherein the select function causes the processor to execute code associated with the at least one map control for the electronic map. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
