Enhance Google Maps Zooming with Shortcuts
Google Maps +/- Zoom Shortcut is a free Chrome add-on designed to restore the zoom functionality of the + and - keys on Google Maps. This tool addresses a common limitation where the zoom controls are inconsistent, providing a seamless way to zoom in and out without the need for dragging the map or relying on the mouse. The add-on is particularly useful for users who frequently navigate Google Maps and seek a more efficient way to control their view.
The extension allows the + and - keys to function as intended across all non-text-input areas within Google Maps. This enhancement ensures that users can easily adjust their zoom level without interruptions, improving the overall navigation experience. By minimizing the need to change focus or use the mouse for zooming, this add-on streamlines the interaction with Google Maps, making it a valuable tool for frequent users.
