Summary

Allow you to use two finger scroll on your Mac trackpad in Google Maps. Install ScrollMaps and you can use two-finger scroll in Google Maps.

It's designed for Mac trackpads but because of the simple mechanism, it should work on all trackpads, or even a Magic Mouse. To zoom in the maps, use the pinch gesture, Alt-scroll (Windows), or Cmd-scroll (Mac). Inertial Scrolling works on the Mac, and other operating systems that supports it natively. There are additional options in the options page, together with a small embedded map to try out different configurations.

Happy mapping!


Permissions:

When ScrollMaps is installed, it asks for permission to access different Google Maps domains so it can activate automatically. Those permissions can be turned off in Edge's extension settings page, in which case ScrollMaps will only activate if you click on the extension icon on the top right.

For other sites that embed Google Maps (through its API or an iframe), ScrollMaps does not activate by default, and requires clicking on ScrollMaps' extension icon. If you click on the browser icon again after activating, a dialog will pop up allowing you to enable ScrollMaps automatically on that domain or on all sites.
