at “view”-mode you have a little skala left down on the screen. In “edit”-mode there is really nothing. Not helpful.

So I have seen, on my screen at zoom 16 (200m) that this 200 m are 34 millimeters on screen. How long this 200 m are on your screen, may differ logically. So I made a little strip of paper and a mark at 17 mm for 100 m, at 34 mm for 200 m and so on. That is for zoom 16. For zooms 17 (100 m) and 18 (50 m) you can set the meters too at your markers.

O.k. - is not perfect, but better as nothing. And by the time you get a feeling for the meters at the scale, in which you work. In doubt you set your paper-ruler softly at the screen

Some mesures = Great churches normally not longer then 80 m, a soccer-field 100 * 67m , one Block in Manhattan / New York 60 * 240 m, one block in the “Eixample” of Barcelona 148 * 148 m.

Khaiwoon - Street names

Posted by histor on 24 March 2014 in German (Deutsch).

In some cities it is usual, to give a name for a street only once in the whole town (p.e. Hamburg / Germany). In other great cities a street-name can given twice or more often, but only once in a defined area (p.e. Berlin / Germany).

In Khaiwoon we need a lot of street-names. So I think, a street-name could be used twice or more, but only once in a suburb. What do you mean?
