The scale was removed in this source code changeset: <a href="http://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/17641">http://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/17641</a><br>Because of the following trac ticket: <a href="http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1704">http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1704</a><br>
<br>In short, the scale does not give accurate measurement because it doesn't change with respect to the curent latitude of the map.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Andrew Errington <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:a.errington@lancaster.ac.uk">a.errington@lancaster.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
I'm pretty sure there used to be a scale on the map[1] in the lower left<br>
corner. Yesterday I noticed it was no longer there.<br>
<br>
It is quite possible I misremembered that there was one. Could someone<br>
please restore my sanity by telling me that there should or should not be<br>
a scale indication on the slippy map? If there should be one, please<br>
confirm that it is or is not still present (I have tried Firefox and IE<br>
today and, for me, neither show a scale). If there should be one and it<br>
is not present could someone please fix it?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>
