Scale indicator on chart display

New user
Is it possible to include a scale indicator on the chart display? Use case: as marine user, being able to estimate how far one is from wind and/or currents, is valuable for decision making. -

Hi, this is available in Windy. It is the Distance & planning feature.
To get it, it depends on the version you are using. Browser or mobile app ? -

Sorry I didn’t provide platform info. Thank you for engaging. I’m using both iOS and android. I know I can find distances in ‘distances and planning’, but the use case I’m suggesting is to gauge the distance weather features (currents mainly) are from the shore (or how far my route to stay in the current is from the shore). This might also be useful to see how far one is from a wind ‘shift’. -

It's very simple with Distance&planning.
How do you gauge distances on a screen using a scale indicator? With dividers?
Just for your information in the browser version you could use the Rings plugin.
