1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by an apparatus, an input specifying a path, a boundary, or a combination thereof associated with at least one panning operation over a mapping user interface; and
in response to a subsequent input at a location outside of the path, the boundary, or a combination thereof, corresponding the location to a location anchor on the path, within the boundary, or a combination thereof, and recentering the mapping user interface based on the location anchor.

Abstract
An approach is provided for processing one or more user interactions and/or user gestures with the user interface element to a cause panning for specifying routes with location anchors for streets. A panning platform determines an input for specifying at least one panning operation over a mapping user interface. Next, the panning platform determines one or more map features rendered in the mapping user interface. Subsequently, the panning platform processes and/or facilitates a processing of the one or more map features to determine one or more parameters for the at least one panning operation, wherein the at least one panning operation includes a recentering of the mapping user interface.
