Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what the approximate printed dimensions would be of this 1:500k map:
http://download.maps.vlasenko.net/smtm500/n-45-4.jpg
It's 200km wide on the long. and lat., so am I right in saying that on this map as every centimetre should represent 5km, therefore the map should be approximately 40cm x 40cm when printed?
On a 1:1,000,000 map every centimetre should represent 10km. But I'm a little confused by the measurements on this sample map:
http://download.maps.vlasenko.net/smtm1000/o-46.jpg - it probably doesn't help there's no scale on there... but theoretically a 1,000,000 map should be 80cm x 80cm when printed?
Any input would be appreciated. I'm feeling quite confused by it all looking at it on a computer screen. I'm basically eventually looking at figuring out how many 1:500k and how many 1:1,000,000 maps I can print out on to a stock sheet of Tyvek paper
Thanks for your help.
Matt
