Thanks Worth, so how do you know if the scale is inches to inches or feet to feet, etc.? What is the default?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 10:03 AM, Worth Lutz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wal3@mindspring.com" target="_blank">wal3@mindspring.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Hello all, I have a few questions that I can't seem to get cleared up
in the OpenLayers documentation. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Someone asked me what is the units of measurement
that are displayed in the scale control? In other words 1:7M what? Or is
it unit-less since it's a ratio? Sorry if that's a dumb question. <u></u><u></u></span></font></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Next, when you manually specify the resolutions
of the map (i.e. map.resolutions = [...,...,...];), what units are those?
I checked the map in the DOM inspector and it says the units are
'degrees', does that mean decimal degrees? <u></u><u></u></span></font></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Also if this or anything related to scale,
resolution or Geo-spatial accuracy in general is documented anywhere for
OpenLayers, can someone point me in that direction?<u></u><u></u></span></font></li>
</ul>

advance!<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
