Échelles manquantes! [...] [On a] noté un problème courant à propos des cartes : l'absence d'échelle! Or une carte sans échelle n'est pas une carte! C'est le b.a-ba de la cartographie! [...] Effectivement, il y a des cartes qui manquent d'échelle mais attention, il y a des cas dans lesquels il ne peut pas y en avoir en raison du choix de la projection qui étire le haut des cartes pour l'hémisphère Nord (le bas pour celles du Sud).
