Allow you to use two finger scroll on your Mac trackpad in online maps.
Allow you to use two finger scroll on your Mac trackpad in Google Maps.
Install ScrollMaps and you can use two-finger scroll in various online 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, simply use the pinch gesture. Inertial Scrolling works on the Mac, as well as on 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.
Supported maps providers:
- Google Maps
- MapBox
- Esri ArcGIS
- Apple MapKit JS
- OpenStreetMap
- and a few others
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 Chrome's extension settings page, in which case ScrollMaps will only activate if you click on the extension icon on the top right.
For other mapping sites, like MapBox, ArcGIS, Apple MapKit JS, and sites using Google Maps API or 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.

To activate ScrollMaps on a site outside of the google.com domain, click on the ScrollMaps extension icon to the right of the URL bar. Auto-activate ScrollMaps on all sites you visit, you can click on the icon again and select "Auto-activate on all sites".
