A mobile device that displays a list of traveling maneuvers or driving directions according to a route from a start location to a destination location is provided. The displayed list of driving directions includes a series of graphical items that each corresponds to a maneuver in the route. The displayed list of driving directions is updated dynamically according to the current position of the mobile device. Each maneuver actually taken or traveled causes the mobile device to display the item that corresponds to the taken maneuver differently. After a number of maneuvers have been taken, the graphical items that correspond to the taken maneuvers are removed from display and new maneuvers are brought into view.
