[Geomoose-users] Scalebar in GM2

[Len Kne]

I think adding this to the mapbook will work:

<param name="scale_line.top_units"></param>

More info on OL scalelines

Len,
Thanks for the notice. I use the OL code and it works fine.

A question to the list:
Is it possible to have either the top or bottom scale line enabled 
exclusively? I would only need to show kilometers, since I am working 
with small scale maps.

Thanks,
Nils
