title: Google Maps API v3 Disable Pinch to Zoom on iPad Safari
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to disable the default pinch to zoom functionality on the Google Maps API V3 with Javascript. I tried detecting the touchstart events on the document and nested divs but to no avail. Anyone have any ideas how I can disable this functionality?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Notes</strong>
  I have tried iterating through all the DOM elements looking for the <code>ontouchstart</code> events on an interval looking for a way to potentially build a hack but I can't seem to locate any at (using my iPad), so I am unsure how they are even doing it.</p>
