1. A method comprising:
- detecting a first touch at a first location on a touch-sensitive display;
detecting a second touch at a second location on the touch-sensitive display;
displaying a navigation indicator at a first indicator location on the touch-sensitive display in response to detecting the second touch while first touch contact is maintained, the first indicator location being spaced from the first location and the second location;
moving the navigation indicator to a second indicator location on the touch-sensitive display in response to detecting movement of at least one of the first touch and the second touch, the second indicator location being at a location on the touch-sensitive display that is different from the first indicator location;
detecting a third touch after the first touch and the second touch end; and
when the third touch is in a touch area generally centered at the second indicator location, performing a function associated with the second indicator location.

6. A portable electronic device comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display configured to display information; and a processor connected to the touch-sensitive display to;
detect a first touch at a first location on the touch-sensitive display;
detect a second touch at a second location on the touch-sensitive display;
