Dear David,
I am not a professional, just doing an aviation related (non-profit) website for fun, I picked up all my WordPress and coding knowledge on the internet.
Thank you again for the detailed code, it works like a charm. Now I will do some testing and asking around amongst users and decide whether to use your solution or keep the original functionality of the widget and simply put more blank space in between the maps, so the users can scroll without touching the map itself.
(To be honest, after your first answer I tried to dig up the internet for some solution / code to add the widget the two fingers manipulation only, so avoiding my original problem but I had to realize that writing such code is way beyond my knowledge. ?? )
By any chance if you are planning your next project, an OGN tracker plugin would be epic, the WordPress community lacks of good aviation related content. (OGN is an open source project for tracking aircrafts, there are many websites and apps to follow these trackers-aircrafts, but nothing WordPress related.)
Thank you again for the answer, it is quite rare that a developer directly communicates with the users, especially in case of a free product.
Greetings from Hungary
