Magic Mouse - Google maps zooms WAY to fast

I too have this problem and have tried all different settings for the mouse scroll speed etc. I believe it is because the mouse scroll has focus on the zoom bar at the left of the map and consequently this moves up and down a long way with the slightest finger touch. Very irritating but can't see how it can be avoided other than just manipulating the zoom bar with a left mouse click and drag.

I'm having this problem too. Left and right swipes also seem to zoom in/out, even accidental swipes that wouldn't normally move the screen more than a few pixels.

My largest problem is with accidental swipes zooming me in/out to the closest/farthest map. For me, a fix would be to only allow two-finger scrolling, but unfortunately this is not an option in the control panel.

Have the same issue. Very annoying.

Google Maps allows to disable the wheel via Javascript.
http://code.davidjanes.com/blog/2008/11/14/how-to-enabledisable-mouse-wheel-acti ons-on-your-map/
gives some hints. There is also a Greasemonkey script to do this:

I tried to apply this within Safari, but did not succeed.
Neither "disableScrollWheelZoom" nor "Sva" seem to work with
gApplication.getMap()
May be someone else can help here.

I'm another that will say, it drives me bananas!! I love the mouse otherwise, but it's just way too touchy, and when attempting to just move around on the map, it instead ends up zooming way in our out, many times when just moving the mouse across the web page to get to another button, textbox etc.
I know there's a few other examples where this happens, but I can't think iof it right off. Will report back next time I encounter it.
It does seem most sensitive with Google Maps than anything else; Via Safari, or Firefox/opera etc.
Be nice if they resolve this, so I can stop yelling obscenities when getting driving directions. 8)

Have you tried changing the settings for the mouse in System Preferences?

I have the same issue with Google Maps. Turning the scrolling "momentum" off and turning the sensitivity down helps immensely.
