To compare ancient or regional maps with recent ones from google, it would be helpful to show a scale in units different to miles or kilometer, using the API.
I mad a prototype under http://www.schroefl.com/de/karten/index_test.php?ort=ternitz It should be possible to create a new scale object, like for an Austrian Mile. The scale should at least have these attributes: Name of Unit (österreichische Postmeile) length of unit im Meters (7586) name of subunit (Klafter) length of subunit im Meters (1.896) is it used in decimals or in fractions (2,25km <> 2 1/4 miles) The subunit should be used instead of small parts of the main unit (2 Klafter instead of 0,0005 miles) The scale should be positionable on the map.
