The invention relates to a map panning directional indicator for a navigation system (20). A display device (24) of the navigation system displays the map panning indicator, which indicates both a current heading between a map panning cursor (54, 62) and a current vehicle location relative to a map database (28) and a distance between the map panning cursor (54, 62) and the current vehicle location. The map panning cursor (54, 62) is displayed in the center of a map section as a user pans over map sections of the map database, which are displayed on the display device (24).
