Map

[Rae]

Hello.

I am about to get vector map into WAsP Map editor,

I wonder Is there any standard scales of map?

I mean, Could I use "the scale of 1/5,000"

I am so sorry to bother you this thing.


Thank you.

We usually don't worry about the scale of a WAsP map because the digital map is defined using real-world coordinates. However, when you use a scanned paper map for digitising the height contours or roughness change lines, this map should preferably be at a large scale, say, 1:25,000 or 1:50,000. Such maps are more detailed than smaller scale maps and WAsP needs these details (e.g. elevation details close to the sites) on order to do a reliable modelling.
