Show transcript
The scale of a map explains how large an area shown on the map is in real life.
Small-scale maps show a large area but have little detail, e.g. a world map.
Large-scale maps show a smaller area in more detail, e.g. a town or local area.
A scale bar shows how distances between areas in real life compare with the distances shown on a map.
