Single Finger Zoom for Google Maps

February 3, 2022

Every once in a while you stumble upon a tip that really will make your life simpler. The Verge has a post with instructions for one of those simple things when dealing with a map application. There’s a little trick to operate the zoom feature in Google Maps with just one finger. You double tap on the map, but leave your finger on the screen after the second tap. Moving your finger up and down with zoom in and out. Swiping up zooms out and swiping down zooms in.

Apparently, the “trick” works with Google Maps on Android and iOS devices. It also works with iOS map apps such as CityMapper and Apple Maps.
