Why does a map say not to scale?
When a map is to 'scale' it means there is a specific key and all distances on the map have been measured precisely to the scale listed in the key. In other words, you can rely upon the information as being accurate. When a map is "not to scale" this measure of accuracy has not been checked. Some distances may be accurate, or really close, but you should not rely upon the information as fact.
What part of a map tells you the difference in size between the map and real life?
The scale
What is the difference with a linear and nonlinear scale?
The differences between the these two is that linear scale shows the relation between the map distance and the ground distance. The nonlinear scale do not show the relation between the map distance and the ground distance.
What is the importance of the scale key in understanding the measurements and proportions of a map?
The scale key on a map is important because it shows the relationship between the distances on the map and the actual distances in the real world. It helps people understand the measurements and proportions of the map accurately.
What is the difference between photo scale and map scale?
A map is a draft or something that has locations and a photgraph is a picture that some one takes of something or someone.

What does every map must have?

What is large map scale?
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.
