Measurements / Scale

[sanktnelson]

Here is one suggestion that shouldn't be too hard to implement:

I miss a simple ruler! I would like to be able to measure distances on the Earth's surface, and in addition to that, it would be nice to know how large the current window is. The current display of altitude is nice, but not really intuitive.

Other than that: Great program! Can't wait until I actually get to see the landsat 7 data.

1. I very much need a scale bar in both English and metric measurements for air photos and topographic maps to be able to use this nice program.

2. Measurable data points should be visible (toggle on/off) in both long/lat and UTMs (toggle between).

3. Is it possible to superimpose USGS topography over air photos?
