1. A method for using a portable electronic device, having an input device for receiving a gesture based input from a user, to control a navigation operation of an appliance, comprising:
- receiving via the input device of the portable electronic device the gesture based input;
causing the portable electronic device to transmit to the appliance, as a function of one or more characteristics associated with the gesture based input and one or more parameters stored in a memory of the portable electronic device, a navigation step command to thereby control the navigation operation of the appliance; and
adjusting a value associated with the one or more parameters stored in the memory of the portable electronic device via use of data within a communication received from the appliance wherein the communication is generated by the appliance and transmitted to the portable electronic device in response to the appliance using the navigation step command that is transmitted to the appliance from the portable electronic device to control the navigation operation of the appliance as commanded from the portable electronic device whereupon the portable electronic device will respond to a subsequently received gesture based input by transmitting as a function of one or more characteristics associated with the subsequently received gesture based input and the adjusted value associated with the one or more parameters stored in the memory of the portable electronic device a subsequent navigation step command to thereby control a subsequent navigation operation of the appliance.
