A graphical or bar scale. A map would also usually give its scale numerically ("1:50,000", for instance, means that one cm on the map represents 50,000cm of real space, which is 500 meters) A bar scale with the nominal scale expressed as "1:600 000", meaning 1 cm on the map corresponds to 600,000 cm=6 km on the ground.
The scale of a map projection must be interpreted as a nominal scale. (The usage large and small in relation to map scales relates to their expressions as fractions. The fraction 1/10,000 used for a local map is much larger than the 1/100,000,000 used for a global map. There is no fixed dividing line between small and large scales.)
In most European countries, the largest scale topographic map series is a 1:25.000 scale series. Notable exceptions are Austria (1:50,000) and Finland (1:20,000). Many non-European states limit the largest scale of their map series, usually to 1:50,000 scale, frequently due to the large size of the country covered (and hence for financial reasons).
Airfix used to produce in this scale. 1:1000: 0.305 mm This is a scale used in Germany for pre-finished airliner models. Herpa and Hogan Wings produces several models in this scale. Bandai produces spacecraft models from Space Battleship Yamato 2199 Ares Games produces the Sails of Glory line in this scale. Common scale for architectural ...
22. The map is ready for export. Go to the PrinterPlugIn (File -> Print -> As Map To Printer, Image, PDF (Cadplan) or the Printer icon from the top menu bar). Set the scale to 1 : 4 000 000. Add the "Furniture" (North arrow and map scale). In the map scale menu set the Value Scale to 1000. Go to Save Image and save the map as PDF.
The scale: parameter specifies the desired map scale as 1:N, overriding the scale implied by any type: parameter. GeoHack uses scale: to select a map scale for a 72 dpi computer monitor. If no dim:, type:, or scale: parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default scale of 1:300,000.
The length of the line on the linear scale is equal to the distance represented on the earth multiplied by the map or chart's scale. In most projections, scale varies with latitude, so on small scale maps, covering large areas and a wide range of latitudes, the linear scale must show the scale for the range of latitudes covered by the map. One ...
Meridians are parabolas. Standard parallels at 36°46′N/S; parallels are unequal in spacing and scale; 2:1 aspect. 1949 McBryde–Thomas flat-pole quartic = McBryde–Thomas #4: Pseudocylindrical Equal-area Felix W. McBryde, Paul Thomas Standard parallels at 33°45′N/S; parallels are unequal in spacing and scale; meridians are fourth-order ...
