It was removed because it wasn't acurate if you change latitude, but even a rough scale is more useful than no scale. As for distance between points there are some site, I can't think of them off the top of my head, that let you click on a map and it will give you the distance. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
