 ===== Google maps zoom in/out animation (between browsers) =====
 * Performed by: vladan, avih
-TBD
+* Test how well the google maps zoom in/out animation is (using mouse wheel scroll over the map).
+* We tested this zoom animation since vladan thought Firefox might perform worse than chrome.
+* Procedure:
+** OS: Windows 10 only
+** Tested browsers: Firefox release / Nightly / Chrome / IE / Edge
+** Load maps.google.com, cue it to a city (e.g. Toronto), then use mouse-wheel to zoom in and out (stayed zoomed in within city limits at all times).
+* Observations:
+** TL;DR: Firefox is not worse than others and all browsers are quite similar.
+** All browsers initially zoom in/out in discrete steps, but once enough data has loaded, the zoom change switches to smooth.
+** While in discrete steps: Edge and IE update slightly slower than nightly/release/chrome.
+** _maybe_ Firefox release and Edge/IE take longer to load the data than nightly/chrome.
+** While in smooth zoom mode, all browsers behave pretty much the same, and very nicely at that.
+* TODO:
+** Settle the disagreement: vladan: Firefox is worse, avih: all browsers are similar enough.
