## What is MapScale?

With MapScale you get and share perspective using the map.

- Compare two map locations at same scale
- Overlay custom size to show area over map
- Customizable layout for export
- Powerful use of map with search, coordinate input, favorites
- Best aerial data provider with Apple Maps
- Collection of landmarks and examples of landuse, nature, etc
- iPad version is fully compatible with Mac

The map is great at telling stories, such as how big or small things are. This often depends on what we relate them to. We often hear of features being a certain size or about the scale of natural events without getting a real sense of how large or small it is. With MapScale you can show scale using an overlay of a defined size and shape or put two locations side by side at the same scale. The purpose is simply to put size into perspective. Communicate by exporting and sharing to social media or save to your photo library.

Projects saved to iCloud and shared between your devices.

Enjoy!

### 3/5 — Good idea but.. frustrating

*2024-07-16*

Can the map be enlarged to full  screen view while searching the area of interest ?
Can the map be searched on country by country basis or continent basis?
Can user control starting of rendering

**Developer response:** Fortunately, version 2, which is a month or so from release, has both fullscreen and search. Rendering will be less of an issue with the full screen map because it won’t have the overlay.
