Scale[edit]

A graphic scale may be helpful to the reader to acknowledge distance ? One line with inch/km above and cm/km below to accomodate every one both side of the Atlantic ? Sebjarod (talk) 16:46, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is the distances are not the same in the north than in the south of the map, because of the sphericity of Earth, and the geographic projection (here, I've choosen UTM). But I will try to add two scales, one up and one down. Thanks for the idea. Sémhur (talk) 20:03, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
