[OSM-talk] Map scale

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

The scale was removed in this source code changeset:
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/17641
Because of the following trac ticket:
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1704

In short, the scale does not give accurate measurement because it doesn't
change with respect to the curent latitude of the map.
