Disable Scroll Zoom

Didn’t get a reply on this, but kept thinking of a work around. It’s not elegant, but here’s what worked.

=========

I added a div around the simplemap shortcode and gave it a class of ‘mapOverlay’. To my stylesheet, I added the following:
.mapOverlay {pointer-events: none;}

Then I added a script to enable pointer events once the user clicks on the map (actually the surrounding div) once again

jQuery('.mapOverlay').click(function () {
       jQuery('.mapOverlay #simplemap').css("pointer-events", "auto");   });
