It depends on the detail required and to what purpose it is to be put to. I can get detail levels to create a contour map of hundreds of acres in 4 hours. Conversely, 4 hours may not be enough to do a detailed survey on a small house and garden in a city.

Generally the detail you need will be levels, trees, fences, buildings, services, drainage and roads but there may be a need to get more.

How do you know to use a small scale map or a large scale map?

The choice between a small scale map and a large scale map depends on the level of detail and the area you are interested in. A large scale map, which covers a smaller area with more detail, is ideal for navigation in urban environments or for detailed planning. Conversely, a small scale map covers a larger area but with less detail, making it suitable for understanding broader geographic trends or regional planning. Assess your needs—whether you require intricate details or a general overview—to determine which type of map to use.
