Embodiments described herein may provide a method for presenting a list of relevance-ranked milestone locations in a navigation system user interface. Methods may include: determining a current, map-matched location and a direction of travel; determining a plurality of milestone locations based on the current, map-matched location and the direction of travel; determining a priority ranking of the plurality of milestone locations; and providing for display of a subset of the plurality of milestone locations having the highest priority. Methods may optionally include providing for display of an estimated travel time to each of the milestone locations of the subset of the plurality of milestone locations, where the estimated travel time is based on a distance from the current, map-matched location and dynamic traffic awareness.
