Add scale bar to map (Google and OSMDroid)
The map already has a North Arrow. Now all that it needs to be a standard map is a scale bar.
@jidanni Thanks for the feedback!
Looks like OSMDroid supports this natively: https://osmdroid.github.io/osmdroid/javadocAll/org/osmdroid/views/overlay/ScaleBarOverlay.html
...but to my knowledge Google Maps does not.
There are also third-party libraries to achieve this: https://github.com/pengrad/MapScaleView
It may be easiest to just use the 3rd party library on both for consistency.
I also found https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2094648/google-maps-api-how-to-add-a-scale-measure-on-a-map
I've opened an issue on the Android Maps Utils library to support this feature too - https://github.com/googlemaps/android-maps-utils/issues/701.
