Maps zoom/scroll with Magic Mouse

Hi
In Maps.app, scrolling over the map with magic mouse, moving the map instead of zooming, i need to press SHIFT when i need zoom in or out. Other apps (google maps in safari, or google earth.app) working with zoom set as default.


How can i change this behaviour?

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

I second this. seems like an oversight. i can live it, i'll just screw up every time I try maps because at this point, google Maps is still better. so it'll be quite some time before i think of Maps first.


I do feel like Maps is just a Beta right now. There are 0 preferences.


I tried using Better Touch Tool but it doesn't seem to work... i could be doing something wrong though.

If someone figures out a trick with the BTT, and Maps, please let us know.



In the mean time, apple has it's work cut out for it. Maps has Millions of Miles that needs updating/correcting/ect. perhaps in one of it's many to roll outs, they'll give us some preferences.

Given the problems with a Mighty Mouse to zoom in or out in maps.google for example (or Bing maps or Geoportail,…), having to hold shift to zoom in Maps.app seems to be a very good solution.

Unless you have found a way to avoid zooming in and out furiously fast just when you want to click on the map...

My dream is to be able to set a modifier key when I use maps.google.


NB: when I say "problem with the Mighty Mouse", I'm not sure this is the mouse itself that is in question but its sensitivity in some cases. The zoom is much better in Maps.app than in the other maps sites.
