Is There an easier way to zoom out of google maps on the iphone?

In the iPhone Google Maps application, it's pretty obvious how to zoom into maps. You double tap the screen. The map readjusts, zooming further in. So how
do you zoom out? Sure you can pinch your way back but there's a far easier way. Use a single multi-touch tap instead. That is, tap with two finger at once. Separate your fingers so it's clear that you're making two contact
points and...tap. Google Maps obediently zooms back out, one zoom stage for each multi-touch tap. Give it a try. It's a great tool to bring into your Google Maps vocabulary [TuAw]

And for those of you who haven't been double tapping and getting your swerve on with the iPhone - even if you DON'T want one I suggest you stop by an ATT store and just hold it look at it and play with it. I walked out of the
store after the first time I played with it and I was giddy. Calling all my Windows and Linux loving friends proclaiming in amazement how great the iPhone is. Then they would ask me are you getting it... And my response?


HELL NO! It doesn't have POP3 email... It doesn't do MMS or voice recording among other stuff? Why would i want to go backwards to the time before windows mobil.... Hmm now WM always did all that shit! But it sure is purr-tttty.
