Scale bar 1:xyz,xyz

I'd like to see a scale bar added to the map, so you can see what scale you are at when zooming in and out.

The reason I'd like to see this is because we have some data that is best viewed at certain scales.

Currently there's a bar that shows miles and kilometers.

In addition, it would be great if the scale bar could be turned on and off.

Not sure if you noticed yet but you can turn the scale bar on- and off now!

I have clients asking about this feature again. We'd really love to see it. I have attached a photo of what I mean this time. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. We don't care about miles or km. We want to see something like 1;250,000 or 1:50,000 in the highlighted area. On the right hand side where the controls are maybe you could add in an option to show which kind of scale you want to see.

The ability to show the scale fraction (e.g. 1: 5000 etc) is absolutely a requirement and something that is available in Web App Builder.

I agree that the ability to show the scale fraction (e.g. 1: 5000 etc) definitely needs to be added.

Yes, please add the ability to show the scale fraction.

Hi All,

After the release of ArcGIS Online in October 2025, you can choose the style of scale bar.

Thanks,
