Pinch Zoom in Google Maps on Safari

Google maps using safari pinch gesture does not work.


I expect pinch gestures on the trackpad of my MacBook Pro 13" (2019) to basically work the same as pinching the screen on my iOS device.  Pinch in to zoom in, pinch out to zoom out.  This works as expected on Chrome and Firefox, but not in Safari.  Zoom in zooms in the entire page not just the map and zoom out shows you the all open tabs view.  Is there a setting I can change or a workaround other than using Chrome or Firefox?


I have feeling Apple is directing users from Safari to the Maps app. Thanks!

I figured it out. I guess Safari doesn't recognize the pinch method, so you need to swipe with two fingers up and down.
