Install ScrollMaps and you can use two-finger scroll in various online maps.

User reviews

I've been using this for ages, but it wasn't until I changed browsers and had to reinstall that I remembered why. I HATE that the scroll wheel was hijacked to zoom on maps! I want my maps to pan along map's orientation when I scroll, it's more intuitive.
