Map gestures: navigating Aqua Map with touch

Aqua Map's chart works just like any map app you're already used to on your phone or tablet. Zooming, panning, and rotating all rely on the same simple touch gestures, so if you've ever used Google Maps or Apple Maps, you'll feel right at home here.

Here's the full list of gestures Aqua Map supports.

• Tap with one finger to pull up Map Information for whatever point you tapped.

• Pinch with two fingers to zoom out, and spread them apart to zoom in.

• Double-tap with one finger to zoom in quickly.

• Double-tap with two fingers to zoom out quickly.

• Swipe up with two fingers to enable Perspective View, and swipe down to disable it. Worth knowing: if your Perspective View setting on the Settings page is set to "Never", this gesture won't do anything, so check there first if it doesn't seem to work.

• Rotate with two fingers to rotate the map to any angle you like.

None of these gestures require any setup, they work straight out of the box, so the fastest way to get comfortable with them is just to open the chart and try each one.
