Is there any navigation dijit or map option , used for panning the map?

Question

I want to add an add-on to my map that will allow the user pan the map by clicking on it. I am thinking something like the zoom toolbar where the user csn click on the +- buttons to zoom in/out. Any ideas?

What you are looking for is the nav property, which you can set in your options object when creating the map. See here in the constructor:

Displays pan buttons on map. When false, the pan arrows never display. The default is false.

It accepts a boolean, so all you have to do is set it to true when creating your map, such as here:

var map = new Map("mapDiv", {
    basemap: "streets",
    center: [-100, 32.52],
    zoom: 7,
    nav:true
});

Eight small arrows should now appear on your map, which can be used to pan when clicking on them. They're gray, so they are sometimes hard to see, depending on which basemap you use!
