Description

Maps Compose 2.7.2

Looking at the ScaleBar demo I notice an up to 100% error in the length of the ScaleBar vs. the displayed length value: For example, at the 1000m mark, the ScaleBar label switches to "1 km" until it reaches 2000m/2km, with a constant ScaleBar length.

Maps generally operate in the GIS realm, and a user would have a reasonable expectation of correctness.

I believe Google Maps addresses this issue by using variable length scale bars, which I'd think is what needs to be done instead.
