What is the difference between map scales?
The 1°x2° (1:250k) scale is the farthest zoom out. It is an overview scale and the least detailed. The next scale, 30’x60′ (1:100k), is a little more detailed then the 1°x2° scale. Four 30’x60′ maps equal one 1°x2° map. The most detailed, scale 7.5′ (1:24k), is the closest zoom and shows all the details of an area. Thrirty-two 7.5′ maps equal one 30’x60′ map and one-hundred and twenty-eight equal one 1°x2° map.
