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.

What if maps were never invented?
If maps weren't used, I mean, it would affect us a lot in the long run. Eventually we would find out where things generally are, who knows, we might not have been able to figure out the Earth was a sphere, all that google maps, GPS, it would be non existent. It would affect both our understanding of the math and science (physics) fields greatly.

Why do geographers use scales?
Geographers use scales to accurately represent the size and distance of features on maps relative to the actual size on Earth's surface. Scales help to maintain proportion and ensure that maps are a true representation of reality. Different scales are used depending on the level of detail needed for a specific map or study.
What is the name of the drawing instrument which is used to copy maps in different scales?
