Azure map does not show the scale rulers

[PhilippeGR]

My understanding is that Azure Map is based on the TomTom map.

TomTom has the scale rulers at the bottom right corner of their map as shown below ('mi' & 'km')

However, Azure Map seems to be missing it

My users have been asking for this functionality and I believe that it is an oversight not to have it in Azure Map.

Might be a good idea to have it switchable (On/Off) in the map settings

Hi @PhilippeGR 

Summary of the Situation

• TomTom base maps: Used underneath Azure Maps

• TomTom UI: Includes scale ruler (mi/km)

• Azure Map (Power BI visual): No current support for a scale ruler display

• User Need: Scale bar helps with spatial orientation and distance estimation

Current Workaround: None — it's not available as a toggle or setting

Suggested Action

This is a valid feature gap, and your idea to make the scale ruler switchable via map settings (e.g., On/Off toggle) would provide both:

• Better user context for distance

Cleaner visual layout if turned off

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Appreciate your Kudos !!

How can I get this progressed as it is being asked againand again?

Thanks
