Prevent maps from being draggable on iphone

Hi Stiofan,
Try to visit http://www.iamyogi.nl with a mobile device. You’ll experience that its very annoying for a user to scroll to the bottom of the page, because you naturally place your thumb ON the map. So instead of scrolling a page, you scroll the map.

We understand that we have to make a difference for mobile vs computer-visitors, but given the fact that almost half of the dutch internetusage is being generated from mobile devices we have to change this.
But the relevant code for it seems invissible;-) any advice on the correct file?

Thanks again

Hi Stiofan,

Thanks!
our developer wants to try something out in a separate development-environment, but he cannot find the right spot for the relevant files. Can you tell where we can find it?

Well, we prefer to let users be dumb, so creating an area where they can scroll is not really nice, because it creates human errors and thus irritations…

We are looking for the specific file where the behaviour of the google-maps is managed. There should be one, but we cannot find it. Am i clear enough, or too vague?

Hi Stiofan,

this is what we have found:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference

If you look at it, somewhere in the end (in a table called PROPERTIES) you see that Google offers a way to prevent the map from being dragged. We think that this would be by far the best way to prevent users on smartphones (AND ipads) to get insane.

Our theory is that somewhere in a wp-geodirectory-related file we should add some lines of code to try whether it really works as we like.
But: where? Which file is related to the behavior of the google map on the homepage?
We searched and searched, with no happy ending yet, and we hope that it’s just a simple question…

Thanks we will try it!

Super!!!
