Allow scroll wheel zooming

    I see scroll wheel zooming has been disabled. It’s not always appropriate for a map to disable it. There may be nothing but a map on a page, so scrolling the page without scrolling the map is irrelevant. Or the maps may be small and not susceptible to erroneous zooming whilst scrolling the page.
    There should be a choice of whether you use it or not, and in my opinion the default should be on. How can I re-enable it?
    Thanks!

    It’s fairly standard now on things like Google maps to use the Ctrl-key with the scroll wheel to zoom, and I think we’ll have to agree to disagree about the default. But I will look at putting in an option for this. I guess it needs a default in the settings which you can change per-map if you need to.

    I think it’s standard on Google maps because they made it the default and although it’s easy enough to code it out most people don’t. So you end with something like Zoopla’s properties for sale gmap page which has the sole function of showing a map with properties for sale, but you can’t zoom in and out without having to hold down the Ctrl key (because it’s on a page). This makes it very annoying to use, and really it’s poor design.

    So an opt out would be great!
