Click Click Zoom with Google Maps API
The Google Maps API has added a new feature that developers can choose to use to enable easier zooming. When enableDoubleClickZoom() is called, users can double-click the map to recenter and zoom in one level. And right double-clicking will zoom the map out one level.
Another nice new feature is continuous zoom. You will now see a smooth transition animation when zooming; this brings the Maps API on par with Google Earth. Simply call enableContinuousZoom() to use this feature.
These are two additions, in combination with the geocoding support I mentioned here before, mean that the Google Maps API now does everything I could ever ask for.
Let me know if you’d like to see an update to the Sitemapper, along with any additions you would be interested in. I created that site to make it easy for people to add Google Maps to their site, but it never really took off like I would have liked.
