because a road map tell the usual direction your heading its different from the other maps like the Middle East map because your don't know the distant from that map only a road map does
a road map does not need a scale :) your welcome
The map scale often will show distance in both miles and kilometers. In that way, the map is useful no matter what measure the person normally employs.
This is known as the scale.
The scale of a map may indicate the ratio as well as showing how lengths measured on the map represent actual distances.
One example of scale on a map is the British Ordnance Survey leisure maps with a scale of 1:50 000 (One to fifty thousand). This means that one centimetre measured on the map represents fifty thousand centimetres on the ground. Small scale maps show a large area, but there is little space for fine details - so many features are left out, but the road network is shown - this map is very useful to motorists. Large scale maps show a small area, but provide much more detail. A map of 1:25 000 will show field boundaries and even individual houses - very suitable for walkers wishing to follow footpaths across fields, for instance.
when you go on a road trip.
A map scale is very useful for providing a visual idea of the distance from location to another on the map. The scale is made smaller to show a comparison to the actual size in distance.

It is shown by the scale in centimeters
No it doesn't show elevation. I was looking for it too but it doesnt seem like it to me.

To measure the distance from a current location to a destination on a road map, you would use the map's scale. The scale provides a ratio or representation of distance on the map compared to actual distance on the ground. By using a ruler or a piece of string to measure the distance on the map, you can then convert that measurement to real-world distance using the scale.
