Zoom in Google Maps: This is how it works on all devices

In Google Maps, you zoom in and out of the map slightly differently on each device. On this page we show you how the zoom works on PC, Mac, Android smartphone and tablet as well as on the iPhone and iPad.

Google Maps: Zoom on all devices

• PC & Mac: If you call up Google Maps in the browser on the computer, you will find the plus and minus symbol at the bottom right. You can use this to zoom in and out. This also works with the [+] and [-] buttons and the mouse wheel.
• iOS & Android apps: There are no plus and minus symbols in the Google Maps apps on smartphones, tablets, iPads and iPhones. Here you zoom by pulling your thumb and forefinger together or apart.
• Alternative for iOS & Android: If you do not use the Google Maps app, but instead open the maps.google.de page with your browser, you can also zoom with two fingers.
