Presently, Experience Builder has a scale bar setting associated with the map widget that simply allows it to be visible or invisible.

On making it visible, a simple line scalebar displays with *both* imperial and metric units, however, users will most commonly want *either* metric or imperial units, not both.

Therefore, this ArcGIS Idea is to request that the Experience Builder scale bar have configuration settings, that allow either a metric or an imperial unit of measure be displayed. To provide maximum flexibility, if the user could further nominate to display both, all scenarios would be covered.

So, there could be toggle options for each unit, thus allowing for all user preferences :

  • Imperial
  • Metric

Additionally, the following configuration options would make for an even more useful scale bar :

  • Allow the displayed scale bar unit to be specified (m/km) (ft/mi)
  • Allow the number of intervals on the scalebar to be specified (eg. 4 intervals, of 500m wide)

Please consider this request. I am thinking it's going to be a popular one amongst the user community 🙂

When looking at the enhancement that goes with this (status: 'will not be adressed'), I see "You can publish your own custom print service that includes a scale bar with only one unit.".

This (publish a custom print service) is afaik only possible when you own a server... With only AGOL available, we are stuck with the default dual.

Hopefully this decision can be revised one more time by the devs.

A simple text showing the current map scale would be perfect for us as well.
