Dharmawiki:WikiProject Geographical coordinates/scale:
Revision as of 02:43, 2 March 2010 by w>Stepheng3 (wikilinks, GeoHacks seems to use the rightmost dim: or scale: setting)
The scale: parameter specifies the desired map scale as 1:N, overriding the scale implied by any type: parameter.
GeoHack uses scale: to select a map scale for a 72 dpi computer monitor. If no dim:, type:, or scale: parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default scale of 1:300,000.
