Yikes if what you say is true - that anyone can hack into the code for google maps and insert code like this - doesn't that speak volumes for their security at Google?
I have tried Scrollmaps, it doesn't work. I wouldn't put Chrome on a Mac.
If it is the mouse why can every other mapping system work fine. How come the same mouse used to work with Google map, at some point this started, I have the same mouse ... I don't have the same version of Google maps ... you do the math.
Your personal best choice is not to use Google since you don't want anything to do with them anyway even if they milled you bars of gold every time you did a search. So don't use 'em. Others here probably will appreciate the advice and in the meantime I'll try not to forget again not to bother trying to help you. That's apparently not what you want so back to ignore.
As for your "Why am I replying" of course you are. You've been trolling me for days with several baiting posts. I just haven't bitten till just now. I'm sorry I tried to be helpful to you this time.
Meanwhile I just received an email from StubHub, the big national venue ticket reselling service, announcing their Apple Watch app. I don’t recall if there was any such announcement for an Android Wear watch. Tons of important companies are announcing apps for the Apple Watch, jumping on the bandwagon.
So this sophomoric easter egg says loads about the two companies. There’s a reason Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson made that dumb movie “The Internship” about Google instead of Apple.
Regardless of who did this, whether some Google coder coterie or user-submitted map data (as another poster suggested), it just makes Google look undignified. Just like anyone with a pee-on Ford/Chevy sticker. Childish mentality. If it were the other way around, I would feel embarrassed.

For those with unintended zoom instead of scroll problems I noticed someone else a few days back had mentioned it regarding some graphics program and the Magic Mouse. This is what they found to work.

Is not code for Google Maps, it is Mapmaker, like Open Street Map data
There are way more important things happening today! Like ?Watches being deliver and apple making more billions! So let them waste their time while apple laughs it way to be a trillion dollar company

He was probably happy for the advice, but didn't like your opinion written as unbiased fact. After #digitalclips questioned if Google intentionally hobbled our experience, you said "Nope, unintentional of course."
Saying "of course" implies he was making an obvious mistake, or that he shouldn't have questioned in the first place. It's common knowledge that Google has intentionally crippled competitors in the past, telling carriers that certain third party mapping apps were incompatible with Android cause losing the mapping data would be "terrible", found out with investigations. They told Apple they didn't have the ability to add vector maps or turn by turn directions because of one excuse after the other, then Apple Maps came out and Google Maps added vector and turn by turn right away. So when you say "of course" in an attempt to keep people from questioning Google, despite this common knowledge, it shows that you do have a little bias after all. Its ok, the appleinsider commenters will help you through this. Or call you out.
So, it's very possible Google is doing this intentionally. I mean look at the wizardry with which Google bypassed Safari's privacy settings when it fit with their agenda.

Why O why would anyone install Chrome on their Mac?

Un-f'ing-believable.
Already gone...
It's still there. You can only see it on the app. I just looked right now and it's there. Copy these coordinates and put them in google maps app:
33°30'48.0"N 73°03'32.2"E

Speaking of security- this just came out

Copied the coordinates but still don't see it even zooming in as far as possible.

I care. For a company like Google to release software like this is an outrage.
This could very well have been pornographic images for kids playing with their parents' iOS devices.
I hope Apple Dumps Google Search to get rid of these clowns once and for all.
Time will tell.

That's odd. I tried it on my iPhone and several other iPhone's of co workers and it still is showing in the iOS app.
EDIT: It's now just been removed. It was there literally 5 minutes ago.
