Abstract: A method for translating an object within a GUI display. Another object, such as a cursor, is positioned (104) so as to be co-located (106) with the object; the object and cursor are then translated (110) along a path at least partially determined (108) by data associated with the cursor. Translation along the path ceases (114) when the relative position of the cursor and object changes (112); translation may continue along a different path if the cursor and object remain co-located. An example embodiment is a cursor icon which allows a user, by manipulating a pointing device, to navigate an entire GUI display area by navigating the smaller area of the cursor icon.
