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!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Street View at Free against MapScale's $1.99. Street View also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months). MapScale's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
