The scale is basically the distance radius around where you are at on the screen. You can zoom in+/out- to see more of the mapping or less. You can zoom into a view of approx 20metres or out to 800km. Personally I generally use the Zumo at 120 metres for driving. Sometimes if your not sure of where it is bringing you you can zoom out to see the road layout ahead. The less you are zoomed out on the screen the more detail you will see.
Hope this helps.

Cheers
