MapInfo Pro supports multi-touch gestures which allows two-finger pinching and panning gestures on a touch screen device to perform zoom in, zoom out and pan on the map. The multi-touch also works on a 3D map, Prism map, and the map in the Layout window.
When you pinch the touch screen display or drag your fingers on it, the system detects the gestures and creates the zoom or pan effect on the map.
