Scale Finder - a map scale conversion tool Version 7 now available! Scale Finder converts linear map scales to a representative fraction (and vice-versa). Scale Finder 7 converts nearly over 180 distance units - both current and historical. Representative fractions can also be converted to linear scales by clicking the RF To Linear Scale tab and entering the RF (without the "1:"). Select the units required to display the result. If you are using Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or 2 the previous version of Scalefinder can still be downloaded here (note this has not been updated). Scalefinder will not install on versions of Windows older than XP. |
