As the device traverses along the physical route, the navigation application generates a navigation presentation that shows a representation of the device on a map traversing along a virtual route that represents the physical route on the map. While providing the navigation presentation, the navigation application can receive user input to look ahead or behind along the virtual route. Based on the user input, the navigation application moves the navigation presentation to show locations on the virtual route that are ahead or behind the displayed current location of the device on the virtual route. This movement can cause the device representation to no longer be visible in the navigation presentation. Also, the virtual route often includes several turns, and the peek ahead or behind movement of the navigation presentation passes the presentation through one or more of these turns. In some embodiments, the map can be defined presented as a two-dimensional (2D) or a three-dimensional (3D) scene. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: presenting a first navigation presentation of a map view on a touch-sensitive display screen of a device, the first navigation presentation including a first portion of a route traveled by the device; receiving a touch input on the first navigation presentation to view a second portion of the route; presenting a second navigation presentation including the second portion of the route, wherein the touch input is maintained to cause continuous presentation of the second navigation presentation; and while the touch input is being maintained and the second navigation presentation is being presented: determining that the device has moved within a threshold distance of an upcoming maneuver on the route, and replacing the second navigation presentation with a third navigation presentation that includes the upcoming maneuver on the route. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the touch input is a swipe input. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the touch input is a pan input panning and holding the map view. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting that the touch input has terminated; and in response to the detection, automatically returning the display screen of the device to the first portion of the route. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: detecting that the touch input is being maintained to cause the presentation of the second navigation presentation while the device has reached within the threshold distance of the upcoming maneuver; and overriding the touch input to replace the second navigation presentation with the third navigation presentation. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: presenting an upcoming maneuver banner in association with the map view, the upcoming maneuver banner indicating the upcoming maneuver on the route; receiving the touch input to view the particular maneuver of the route; and maintaining the upcoming maneuver banner that indicates the upcoming maneuver while presenting the second navigation presentation including the particular maneuver of the route. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving the touch input on the first navigation presentation to view the particular maneuver of the route; presenting the second navigation presentation including the particular maneuver of the route; determining that the device is within a threshold distance of the upcoming maneuver on the route; and replacing the second navigation presentation with a fourth navigation presentation that includes the current location of the device and the upcoming maneuver on the route. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising comparing a current location of the device to the upcoming maneuver at periodic intervals. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: receiving the touch input on the first navigation presentation to view the particular maneuver of the route, wherein the first navigation presentation presents a first maneuver banner corresponding to the upcoming maneuver; presenting the second navigation presentation that includes the particular maneuver of the route, wherein the particular maneuver is included within a plurality of maneuvers along the route; and presenting a second maneuver banner that corresponds to the particular maneuver of the route. ### Claim 10 A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program for providing turn-by-turn navigation directions as a device traverses a physical route, the device having a touch-sensitive display screen, the program for execution by at least one processing unit, the program comprising sets of instructions for: presenting a first navigation presentation of a map view on a touch-sensitive display screen of a device, the first navigation presentation including a first portion of a route traveled by the device; receiving a touch input on the first navigation presentation to view a second portion of the route; presenting a second navigation presentation including the second portion of the route, wherein the touch input is maintained to cause continuous presentation of the second navigation presentation; and while the touch input is being maintained and the second navigation presentation is being presented: determining that the device has moved within a threshold distance of an upcoming maneuver on the route, and replacing the second navigation presentation with a third navigation presentation that includes the upcoming maneuver on the route. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 10, wherein the touch input is a swipe input. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 10, wherein the program further comprises instructions for: detecting that the touch input has terminated;

receiving the touch input to view the particular maneuver of the route; and maintaining the upcoming maneuver banner that indicates the upcoming maneuver while presenting the second navigation presentation including the particular maneuver of the route. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 10, wherein the program further comprises instructions for: receiving the touch input on the first navigation presentation to view the particular maneuver of the route; presenting the second navigation presentation including the particular maneuver of the route; determining that the device is within a threshold distance of the upcoming maneuver on the route; and replacing the second navigation presentation with a fourth navigation presentation that includes the current location of the device and the upcoming maneuver on the route. ### Claim 16 A mobile device comprising: a set of processing units for processing sets of instructions; a non transitory machine readable medium storing a program, which when executed by at least one processing unit of the mobile device, provides turn-by-turn navigation directions as a device traverses a physical route, the device having a touch-sensitive display screen, the program comprising sets of instructions for: presenting a first navigation presentation of a map view on a touch-sensitive display screen of a device, the first navigation presentation including a first portion of a route traveled by the device; receiving a touch input on the first navigation presentation to view a second portion of the route; presenting a second navigation presentation including the second portion of the route, wherein the touch input is maintained to cause continuous presentation of the second navigation presentation; and while the touch input is being maintained and the second navigation presentation is being presented: determining that the device has moved within a threshold distance of an upcoming maneuver on the route, and replacing the second navigation presentation with a third navigation presentation that includes the upcoming maneuver on the route. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the program further comprises instructions for: detecting that the touch input has terminated;
