Distance
The scale shows the relationship between the measurement between 2 points on a map, and the distance between those points in real life.
E.g.
A map has a scale of 1cm : 20 km
Lets say that you want to travel from point A to point B, which on the map is 2.5 cm apart. All you do is look at the key to find the true distance...
2.5 x 20 = 50 km
