The dim: parameter defines the diameter of a viewing circle centered on the coordinates. While the default unit of measurement is metres, the km suffix may be appended to indicate kilometres. The dim: parameter overrides the scale implied by any type: parameter.
Syntax — dim:<width><units>
- width — integer number of metres (m) or kilometres (km)
- units —
morkm, if not specified, defaults tom
GeoHack uses dim: to select a map scale such that the viewing circle appears roughly 10 centimetres (4 in) in diameter on a 72 dpi computer monitor. If no dim:, type:, or scale: parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default viewing circle of 30 kilometres (19 mi).
