It would be very helpful if a ‘scale line’ could be added to the map view both in flight and on the ground. Often, in the air, traffic of interest is outside the radar view screen e.g. when following or rendezvousing with a friend - a scale would be very useful in estimating the separation.

Thanks for this suggestion. Making the map more attractive is on our (long…) list for developments. We are fully focusing now of making sure that SafeSky data can be integrated in other (like navigation) programs.
