Enhanced map navigation for Mac OS X using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript

Enhanced map navigation for Mac OS X using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript:


With the release of OS 10.6 Snow Leopard and Lion OS, the Mac Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse allow you to interact with the system using touch gestures like tap, scroll and swipe.
While not all gestures are passed on as native browser events, some gestures emit traditional browser scroll events that enable intuitive and powerful map exploration.


If you have a Mac with OS X 10.6 or greater, click here to view a demo that shows how to pan and zoom using the following gestures:

We plan to make this the default user experience for any Mac with OS X 10.6 or greater at the next release of the ArcGIS API for JavaScript (2.7) so we'd love to hear your thoughts on the functionality now.



Users experienced at working with touch screen devices like iPad and iPhone may wonder why they can't use the pinch gesture to zoom. Desktop browsers currently
do not provide access to these events. Hopefully this will change in the future and we'll be able to upgrade to add this functionality.
