[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Scale bar in bottom corner too small to be useful (Issue #5114)

[Holger Jeromin]

> If I want to (roughly) know the distance between New York and Washington I open the map and zoom in to see the distance is "three thumbs". 

Tom asked the question "Can somebody explain how any of this helps with mapping?"
The main philosophy of this website is to make openstreetmap mapping better and easier but not to produce tools for "generic useful map stuff". Routing was for example included to find routing errors in osm data.
