During fieldwork, it is often necessary to estimate distances as accurately as possible without having to rely on the rather cumbersome “Measure” function. A scale bar that shows approximate distances at a glance would be extremely helpful. The dynamic scale bar does appear as described during zoom operations on our devices but it disappeares immediately afterwards.</P><P>Is there currently a way to permanently display a scale bar in Field Maps?
