A map is just a small piece of paper which cannot accommodate the actual distance of places. Scaling is like reducing the actual length and distance of a certain area. So if the distance of Place A and Place B in the map is 1 cm and the map scaling is 1 cm = 1 km, there fore Place A is 1 km away from Place B.
Scaling is very important in using the triangulation method in determining the location of the Earthquake Epicenter.
