Information on scale and reference system

Scale​

Information on the scale of the map is displayed in the footer on the left, firstly as a scale bar and secondly as a numerical indication of the currently active scale. Here the user has the option of selecting a different value from the drop-down list by clicking on the number. It is also possible to enter the desired scale by typing it directly into the text field. Please note that only the scale number at the back, e.g. 50,000, must be entered without the leading "1 :". Only the available scales from the list are available as input scales.

Reference system and current mouse position​

In addition to the scale information in the footer, the reference system and the current mouse position are displayed if the mouse is positioned in an area of the main map.
