You don't have to use your mouse to pan and zoom through maps in the Google Maps tool. Your keyboard can work just as well.

* To scroll (pan) up, down, left, or right, use the cursor keys.

* Use PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME, and END for faster scrolling up, down, left, and right, respectively.

* Press CONTROL and + to zoom in or CONTROL and - to zoom out.

If these shortcuts do not work for you, click once on the map with your mouse to make sure it is the currently selected item, then try again.
