  2. Scale (map) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(map)

    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.

  3. Vertical exaggeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_exaggeration

    The vertical exaggeration is given by: = where VS is the vertical scale and HS is the horizontal scale, both given as representative fractions.. For example, if 1 centimetre (0.39 in) vertically represents 200 metres (660 ft) and 1 centimetre (0.39 in) horizontally represents 4,000 metres (13,000 ft), the vertical exaggeration, 20×, is given by:

  4. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    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.)

  5. Linear scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_scale

    Bowditch defined only "bar scale" in its 1962 Glossary, [4] but added a reference to "graphic scale" by its 2002 edition. [5] Dutton used both terms in 1978. [2] The International Hydrographic Organization's Chart No. 1 uses only "linear scale". [6] The British Admiralty's Mariner's Handbook uses "scale" to describe a linear scale and avoids ...

    1 Paisa (पैसा) = 4 Daam (दाम) = 7.95 m 2 = 85.56 sq. ft. 1 Daam (दाम) = 1.99 m 2 = 21.39 sq. ft. The units of measurement of area of land depends on the part of the country where they are being used, with the Bigha-Katha-Dhur measurements common in the Terai region while the Ropani-Aana measurements are common in hilly and ...

  7. State Plane Coordinate System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Plane_Coordinate_System

    These efforts are known as "High Accuracy Reference Network" (HARN) or "High Precision GPS Network" (HPGN). In addition, the basic unit of distance used is sometimes feet and sometimes meters. Thus a fully described coordinate system often looks something like: "Washington State Plane North, NAD83 HARN, US Survey feet".

    1 Karam = 5.5 feet = 1.83; or Gaj; 1 Yard or Gaj = 36 Inch = 0.91 Metre = 3 feet; 1 Sq Yard = 9 Sq Feet; To convert Sq feet to Sq Yard = Divide by 9; 1 Marla is 25 Sq metres (272.25 sq feet) [5] 1 Kanal is 605 sq Yard (5445 sq feet) 1 Acre is 4840 Sq Yard

  9. Cartographic design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartographic_design

    Inset maps may serve several purposes, such as showing the context of the main map in a larger area, showing more detail for a subset of the main map, showing a separated but related area, or showing related themes for the same region. A bar scale or other indication of scale translates between map measurements and real distances.
