Yes. What I wanted to say is, a PNG image (or other bitmap) can never
have a map scale. Once you print it out on paper or show it on a screen,
it has one. The map scale of the same PNG image will be vastly different
- by a factor of easily 4 or more - whether you print it on a laser
printer, view in on a standard desktop screen, or view in on your iPhone 4.
