Do you have any advice on adding a distance scale to maps? I'm not sure how to create something that adjusts itself as people zoom in or out.
Thanks!

    Hey Matthew,

    Good question - we've thought about it from time to time, but it's a bit of a tricky question because scale is far from constant in the web mercator projection... I'll give it a think and see if it's possible to quickly implement something.
