The navigation pane is where all the navigation messages are
shown or, when not navigating, it will show the street name you
are traveling on along with the direction you are traveling and
upcoming cross-street names or exits.
Tapping on this pane will return the map to the GPS position if
you happen to scroll it away. The screen on the left shows a map
with the information pane enabled. The name of the street you are
traveling on is shown along with the name of the next street ahead
and its distance ahead is shown.
A small drawing shows the direction of the street if it is a T

you travel down the road. This small drawing will show the relative direction even if the main
map is set to north up.
