Gestures

There are a range of gestures which can be used to interact with a mobile app:

  • One-finger Single Tap
  • One-finger Double Tap
  • Two-finger Double Tap
  • One-finger Press & Hold
  • One-finger Panning
  • Two-finger Rotate
  • Two-finger Zoom-in (Spread)
  • Two-finger Zoom-out (Pinch)
  • Two-finger Tilt (2D/3D)

One Finger Tap

A one-finger single tap is often used to trigger a single event and may vary based on use case. Common uses are but may not be limited to, making a selection, dropping a pin, displaying a map popup, displaying geolocation.

One-finger Press & Hold

A one-finger press & hold gesture can also be used to trigger a single event such displaying a popup or other information. This should only be used when the one-finger tap interaction is assigned to a different event.

One-finger Panning

Panning is typically a single-finger interaction. To pan, tap & hold the map with one finger and drag in any direction. A similar two-finger interaction can also be used when “tilt” is not part of the map interaction.

Two-finger Rotate

Two-finger Zoom-In (Spread)

Zooming in can also be done by using two-fingers and a “spread” gesture.

To zoom out, using two-fingers, use a pinch gesture.

Tilt (2D/3D)

Some map applications can render their maps in both 2D & 3D view. To transition between 2D & 3D, with two-fingers use a push gesture to tilt map forward for 3D. To return to 2D, use two-fingers and a pull gesture.
