How would a map scale that covers a large distance differ from a map scale that covers a small distance?

A small scale map covers a large area, but with less detail due to lack of space on the map. A large scale map covers a smaller area, but in much more detail. A small scale map may show the whole of the UK motorway system, and major roads. A large scale map may show the details of farms, villages, and physical features in great detail.

How is the use of small scale maps different from the use of large scale maps?
If details are needed (larger) smaller or fewer details (small)
What is the definition for a distance scale?
a scale that tells the distance
Which type of map has the largest scale?
A large scale map (covers a small area) shows more detail as there is more space to show detail. A small scale map (covers a large area or even a whole country, etc) doesn't have much space, so any detail is either shrunk or even omitted altogether.
What is a large scale map?
Here is a little trick to know how to tell the difference between a large scale map, and a small scale map. A large scale map is a map where your house would look large on it. For example, a map of your neighborhood, or a map of you area. (You can see you house on this map) A small scale map is a map where your house would look small on it (or you can't see it at all), like a map of the world, or a map of Europe. So large scale = large house small scale = small house.

How does one calculate distance on both small and large scale map?
Measure the distance between the two points (start and end) then multiply by the scale of the map. For example - suppose the distance from town A to town B is 12cm and the scale is 1:25000 - then the actual distance between the two towns is 3km !
How would you measure a distance on the map that is longer than the scale bar?
Multiply distance by the scale bar
What is the differences between linear and non linear scales?
On a linear scale, if two pairs of points are the same distance apart, their magnitudes differ by the same amount. So if distance from point A to B is the same as the distance from point C to D, then the magnitude of B-A is the same as D-C. On a non-linear scale this does not apply. On a logarithmic scale, for example, equal distances, as above would imply that B/A = D/C
