# mapNavigation.enabled

Whether to enable map navigation. The default is not to enable navigation, as many choropleth maps are simple and don't need it. Additionally, when touch zoom and mouse wheel zoom is enabled, it breaks the default behaviour of these interactions in the website, and the implementer should be aware of this.

Individual interactions can be enabled separately, namely buttons, multitouch zoom, double click zoom, double click zoom to element and mouse wheel zoom.
