Abstract
A portable device (100) includes an orientation engine (118) and a display controller (106). The display controller displays a navigational view on a first display (102). Upon detecting a reorientation of the device (610), the display control displays a second navigational view (204). The second navigational view is related to the first navigational view by a relationship dictated by the direction of orientation change, and may be displayed on the first display or on a second display (104), depending on the manner of reorientation.
