Disable the Ctrl + Scroll to Zoom google maps

Does anybody know how to disable the CTRL + Scroll?

First when the mouse wheel was moved the Map would Zoom in/out. But now it asks to press CTRL + Mouse Wheel Scroll to Zoom in/out.

How do we disable this feature? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/controls#ControlOptions

enter image description here


You need to pass gestureHandling: 'greedy' to your map options.

Documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/interaction#gestureHandling

For example:

const map = new google.maps.Map(mapElement, {
  center: { 0, 0 },
  zoom: 4,
  gestureHandling: 'greedy'
});

Update! Since Google Maps 3.35.6 you need to encase the property into an options wrapper:

const map = new google.maps.Map(mapElement, {
  center: { 0, 0 },
  zoom: 4,
  options: {
    gestureHandling: 'greedy'
  }
});

Thank you ealfonso for the new info


If you're OK with disabling scroll-to-zoom entirely, you can use scrollwheel: false. The user will still be able to zoom the map by clicking the zoom buttons if you provide them with the zoom control (zoomControl: true).

Documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference (search the page for "scrollwheel")

const map = new google.maps.Map(mapElement, {
  center: { 0, 0 },
  zoom: 4,
  scrollwheel: false,
  zoomControl: true
});
