Where is the scale bar in ArcGIS online? I wish this was automatically visible like Google Earth. I need the scale and the direction on my map, but I don't see either options.
I have the Student Version. Is that why I can't see the bar?
great question - there are some workarounds listed in this post, or you could use the older version of the map viewer, Map Viewer Classic.
I would suggest making a simple app from your map that may have a scale bar widget option. It looks like this was also an enhancement request, that was not being considered.
