Set more option for scale (ruler, measure) on the map

Yearling shared this idea ago

Possibility to set more options for scale (ruler) on the left-bottom corner of the map (color, line weight, font weight and size).

Now it's too hard to see and read scale on sunshine or while biking.

Good day Yearling,

instead of some extra settings, I prefer to update existing system to better match more users.

So if you have an specific suggestions, feel free to write me.

OK, perhaps it would be sufficient to make scale more visible (at least thicker line and font)

Not sure how you can satisfy everyone without settings. For me the text is too small to read in daylight. And lots of time when I intend to tap track record side panel button I just toggle the ruler scale by mistake.

How? I'm also not sure :). Compromise ...

Anyway Google Maps has 10x less settings and has 1000x more users, so it should work somehow.

In current version is scale line and text itself a little bit wider. So first step ...

To be true, settings for a "scale bar" sounds really crazy to me. Turning on/off has to be enough. All other parameters has to be set to optimal, as much as possible visible values.
