And even more, it depends on the pixel you're looking at - pixels at the top of the map have a different scale than pixels at the bottom of the map. I dare to raise the question: Does a scale bar make any sense at all in a map with an spherical mercator projection? >> However, keep in mind that OpenLayers 2.6 was released, and deployed >> into OSM's slippy map just today - give it a couple o' days, and the >> scale bar will change depending on the latitude. > > I doubt that because (a) somebody would have to write code to make > it dynamic and (b) somebody would have to convince me to patch our > copy of OL instead of waiting for the next release ;-) My bad, I just supposed that the feature was already in OL 2.6 and that the deployment into OSM's slippy map was a bit hasty.
