<p>I am not sure if you guys got it correct but I think the scale in the bottom is not for measuring distance or as measurement tool. It's a scale that compares the map representation with actual world measure, meaning 1 cm in the map is equal to 1 km in real world. And in tradition map it is always in one corner, not in a whole page. See more at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(map)" rel="nofollow">Scale</a> wiki page.</p>
