Just want to say thanks to everyone for the helpful posts. http://www.google.com/maps/m works with maemo-geolocation.

As everyone mentioned, with hover/cursor mode in the browser, I can pan around and zoom in by double tapping, but I cannot zoom out.

I opened that URL in my desktop browser to test, and I noticed that the typical + and -, and mouse scroll up/down does not zoom the maps in and out.

So what key shortcut/mouse action actually is required to zoom the maps in and out? Once that's figured out then we can find a way to pass that to the javascript or something.
