About Google Maps and its shortcuts
Google Maps has a keyboard most people never try: panning and zooming the map, switching between map and satellite views, and moving through search results and directions. On a laptop it is often quicker than dragging, especially for small adjustments.
Shortivo publishes the Windows list for the website. Commands work only while the map itself has focus rather than a panel or a search box, and the mobile applications share none of this.
