Navigation shortcuts

Like most Apple apps, Maps gets better with shortcuts and gestures. For instance, press

ç+L to show your current location on the map.

Twist two fingers on the trackpad to rotate the map. Press ç+… to return to the north-facing orientation. Zoom in by spreading two fingers apart on the trackpad, and zoom out by pinching them together. Add a place to your favourites with ç+D; click the search bar then Favourites to pick from them.
