der Maßstab / die Legende ?? Explanation: I really am not sure that I understand your question - do you mean the scale at the bottom of a map (i.e. 1 in = nn miles)? That would be "Maßstab" in German. Often you aqlso find explanations for the symbols used on a map. That's called legend in English, Legende in German. |
