Trying to use pinch-to-zoom on multitouch screen with Windows 8.1 preview and Internet Explorer 11 (IE later on) does not work with Google Maps API V3 (none of the latest versions: 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14). The expected behaviour is map zooming in and out.

The same feature is working just fine with Windows 8 and IE 10.

There seem to be two exceptions for the case:

Does anyone know how that is achieved so that it could be used until the issue is fixed?

    It doesn't work on mouse scroll wheel as well. It seems to happen in anything full-screen-ish. I tried here: [link]https://google-developers.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/full/map-coordinates[/link] – alpinescrambler Sep 11 '13 at 03:03

For the time being you can add this meta tag to your head tag (make sure it's the first tag after the head)

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" />

That will fix the problem for IE 11 users because the browser will behave as an IE 10 browser.

When Google fixes the bug you can put it back to IE=edge or just remove it.

EDIT : The bug has been fixed by now

  • Doesn't work for me. I add this right after (or even after ) and pinch to zoom still does not work. – mdiener Mar 17 '14 at 13:25

    It's already fixed now in the experimental version https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple – yazanpro Mar 17 '14 at 21:01
