On openstreetmap.org, mouse-wheel zooming is far too sensitive and impossible to control with an Apple Magic Mouse (whose “mouse wheel” is a touch panel). Using the website is very frustrating. Specifically, while panning around with mouse click, every mouse-up risks zooming the map randomly in or out. Whether trying to zoom or not, even very small movements risk unintentionally zooming two or three levels at a time. Sometimes a zoom out is immediately followed by an unintentional zoom in, or vice versa. Sometimes I have to attempt a zoom several times in a row, and the repeated and jumpy visual zoom is on the verge of inducing motion sickness. Is there a way to reduce the mouse-wheel sensitivity for the site? Barring that, is there a way to disable it? Background info:

Not all desktop Macs - my Mac mini doesn't have one (I greatly prefer the Mighty Mouse). This sounds like something that you could raise as an issue against the OSM website, though it'll probably require a developer with a Magic Mouse to fix it. Thanks, Richard. I have posted an issue at https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/issues/686

Well, that quickly got shut down as a Leaflet problem, so I have posted to the Google group. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/leaflet-js/eIE4h7mOk1c

No response there, so I went to github, found these related bugs, and added a comment to the latter: Zoom issues with Apple trackpad (Magic Mouse) https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/issues/2154 Mouse wheel zooms too fast in FF https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/issues/1794

Hallo Michael I have this problem with the Apple Magic Mouse on a number of sites. You can disable the feature on your Mac under Preferences-Mouse but then, if like me, you use the feature elsewhere, you have to re-enable it - a bit of a fag really. So, to get around it, I simply bought and installed another (wired) mouse which has a zoom feature via the scroll wheel. This is less likely to zoom by accident. so now I use the Apple mouse for almost everything and simply change over to the wired mouse for zoomable maps. Hope that helps John |

The scrollmaps chrome plugin offers a partial fix. You have to hold the cmd button while scrolling in order to zoom. 1
link is broken, this should work better https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/scrollmaps/jifommjndpnefcfplgnbhabocomgdjjg?hl=en
