Description

I am using compound_query to display maps of different items:

{{#compound_query:
   [[Category:Metzgerei]]  ; ?Koordinaten
   | format=leaflet
   | cluster=on
   | height=600
   | width=1024
}}

Is there a way to display a length scale in a corner (e.g. lower right) so see, how far things are approximately from each other?
If there is a way, please recategorize this posting as a "question", otherwise I would like to ask for a feature request.

Cheers
Rainer

Research direction

Start with the compound_query map output using format=leaflet and trace where its Leaflet controls are configured. Confirm how a scale control should appear in the map corner, then verify that the rendered map displays an approximate distance scale without affecting clustering, height, or width options.
