The scalebar is not changeable at this point. It's something we will address in the future. As far as the help, it is up to date. You can see the map contents by clicking the Details tab, then clicking the middle button on the details tab to show the contents.

Thanks,

Mike

+1, I'd also like to have a metric scale.  The imperial scale bar sticks out like a sore thumb for a Canadian company, and I imagine for almost any other country besides the US.

I'd also agree - I would like to have a metric scale. The imperial scale is of no use in Australia or New Zealand.

Wondering if km is an option yet?

I am also wondering if km is an option yet.  It looks bad for a Canadian group to have the scale bar in miles.  Any word yet?

I am also trying to set up my scale bar to be in metric instead of imperial.  I have set my Region = Canada (which also seems to try and default back to WO often).  My actual maps seem to be fine and in metric, but any webmapping application I create has imperial units on the scale bar.  Can we change this?  I am just using the default template.

Daryl,
That is strange. I made a test app and it did the same thing.  Have you tried any of the other templates? I made a test of the parcel viewer app and it doesn't have a scale bar. Can you configure it without?

We have upgraded to version 10.2 and we still do not have the ability to change the scale units.  Many of us need metric scales. Please advise as to when we will see this fix.  Thank you.
