** Google Maps Keyboard Controls **

If anyone out there has lost hours of their lives to Google maps, then today's Quicktip is just for you! I have a blast looking around, especially at street view, but I sometimes find myself getting a little confused at the mouse controls when I'm all zoomed in like that.



Well, it's a good thing you aren't constrained to using the mouse, then! Try some of these keyboard controls in to make your Google map experience a little more keyboard friendly!

**Arrow keys:** Move the map up, down, left or right.

**+ key:** Zoom in (you can use = instead of + too)
 * - key:** Zoom out

This is a great alternative to dragging around!
