The 18 pages that link to Map scale, each with the reason it gives.

• CartographyRelated: Scale determines which features fit and how much detail is legible.

• NavigationRelated: It lets map users estimate real travel distances from mapped routes.

• Topographic mapRelated: Scale governs how much terrain detail fits within the map.

• Similarity (geometry)Related: A scaled map represents geographic shapes through proportional lengths.

• Similarity transformationRelated: A map scale applies one proportional change to lengths across a representation.

• Gerardus MercatorRelated: Mercator’s scale increases with latitude, changing the apparent size of regions.

• World mapRelated: A world map’s scale determines how much detail can be shown and how distances are interpreted.

• Geologic mapRelated: Scale determines which geologic features can be shown and how precisely their boundaries can be placed.

• Abraham OrteliusRelated: Scale shaped how much geographic detail each map in the atlas could show.

• Proportional symbol mapRelated: Changing map scale changes how large symbols appear and how much they overlap.

• Computer cartographyRelated: Scale governs which features can be shown and how much detail they need.

• Map symbolRelated: Scale determines whether a feature can be drawn directly or needs a symbol.

• Azimuthal equidistant projectionRelated: Scale is exact radially at the center but changes with distance and direction elsewhere.

• Mark MonmonierRelated: Scale determines which features can be shown and how much detail a map omits.

• Plane tableRelated: A chosen scale determines how measured field distances fit on the drawing sheet.

• John SpeedRelated: Scale clarifies how Speed’s regional maps relate to geographic distance.

• Technical geographyRelated: Scale determines the detail and precision a map can communicate.
