Google Maps - Pan and Zoom Using the Keyboard

SUMMARY: Keyboard shortcuts for navigating Google Maps.

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.
