A graphic scale is a ruler printed on the map and is used to convert distances on the map to actual ground distances. The graphic scale is divided into two parts. To the right of the zero, the scale is marked in full units of measure and is called the primary scale.

Soldiers must know how to determine locations of points on a map, measure distances and azimuths, and identify symbols on a map. They must also be able to determine the elevation and relief of areas on standard military maps.
Scroll to the ‘Map Settings’ and activate the ‘Measure Tools’ check box. The ‘Measure Tools’ for distance and area are displayed in the bottom left corner of the main window. Measure Distance. The distance measurement displays the distance between two points.
Plan missions by drawing directly on the map. Measure distances, find MGRS coordinates, calculate azimuth, and so much more.
Performance Steps. 1. Identify the scale of the map. The map scale is the ratio (1:50,000) of the distance on map (1 inch) relative to the distance on the ground (usually 50,000 inches). 2. Convert a straight-line map distance to miles, meters, or yards using the map's bar scale (Figure 071-329-1008-1). Figure 1.
Measure Distance on a Map Performance Measures. 1. Measure the straight-line distance on the map using the straightedge. 2. Place the paper under the meter bar scale. 3. Determine the distance with no more than 5 percent error. 4. Measure the curved-line distance using the strip of paper. 5. Place the paper under the meter bar scale. 6.
