It drags the map and you can look any where in the world now like on desktop. you can drag like on a computer by bringing out the arrow and then simultaneously holding the space bar.

If Google uses Maemo for their phone, I bet Maemo will be the best OS out there. Too bad Google wants to dominate the mobile OS market by developing Android OS.

Thanks for posting this. Actually, it looks like you can scroll around if you bring up the browser pointer: 1) using the stylus or a nail, drag to the right from the lower left side of the screen to the right. 2) click on the white arrow box that shows up on the left. Now you should have a mouse pointer you can use to drag the map around. This seems to work well when combined with the zoom iframe container. Nice! Thanks for posting this.
