    Note:

    The scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. The client can calculate two locations' distance on the map according to the distance on the ground. An accurate map scale is essential for defining a radar's detection area. Perform this step if you plan to add a radar to the map.

    1. Click Calibrate on the top right of the map.
    2. Click two locations on the map to form a line.
