Abstract
A method and system for navigation within a two-dimensional grid object displayed on an electronic device includes determining a starting location and a circular motion of a touch gesture on the touch sensitive interface. Advancement of the circular motion of the touch gesture is mapped into a continuous navigation along an axis of the displayed grid object. The mapping into a navigation direction within the grid object is based on the starting location and the circular direction of the touch gesture. The results of the navigation, such as an indication of navigation direction and a location within the grid object are displayed.

14. An electronic apparatus the electronic apparatus comprising:
-
a touch sensitive interface which detects a starting location of a circular touch gesture; a processor which uses the starting location of the detected circular touch gesture to map the circular touch gesture onto one axis of a grid object having X and Y axis of information, wherein the processor maps advancement of the circular touch gesture to movement along one of the X or the Y axis of the grid object.
