The scale: parameter specifies the desired map scale as 1:N, overriding the scales implied by any dim: and type: parameters.

GeoHack uses scale: to select a map scale for a 72 dpi computer monitor. If no dim:, type:, or scale: parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default scale of 1:300,000.

Scale Markup Result
1:1000 {{coord|51.500611|N|0.124611|W|scale:1000}} Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.
1:10,000 {{coord|51.500611|N|0.124611|W|scale:10000}} Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.
1:100,000 {{coord|51.500611|N|0.124611|W|scale:100000}} Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.
1:1,000,000 {{coord|51.500611|N|0.124611|W|scale:1000000}} Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.

If the links to the map sites are correctly configured on GeoTemplate and a map is available for the scale, a corresponding map may be displayed.
