| Issue 2592: | Smooth ease-out map dragging | |

It would be nice if the public GMaps API V3 had such a feature like the http://maps.google.com/ has - after the map dragging has finished, and the map is released, it to smoothly slide with an ease-out effect, for a few more pixels (depending on the speed at which the map was dragged before). This will make navigating the map much easier (in case you need to see something outside your current viewport, you just drag it a bit, and then release it, not having to keep dragging for every bit of map to be displayed), and also would make the navigating experience more pleasing (smooth actions generally give users a "nicer feeling" - see Apple's iPhone interface).

FYI, I created JavaScript to emulate this inertial(or kinetic) scrolling. https://code.google.com/p/kineticscrolling/ It is slightly choppy on low power machine, but it works fine for current main stream machine like core2duo. Anyway, it is better to provide this feature as Google's official API.

Though it works now, there's a problem when disabling the map dragging (under mobile Safari). You won't be able to drag the map, but once you let it go (after trying to drag), the smooth ease-out effect will still trigger (so it is not affected by the map's draggable:false property). |
