I think we should probably start discussing an official scale of the map, and work to implement some sort of distance indicator.

The map we currently have is 6000 pixels across, and the world is 24901 miles to circum navigate, which gives us a very inconvenient pixel to mile ratio of 6000 : 24901. However I have devised some solutions.

We could solve this by either making the world of /vt/ larger by rounding it up to 25000, which would make each pixel about 4.16 recurring miles squared. I frankly don't like this option since 4.16 miles isn't a very easy number to work with either.

Alternatively we could round it down to 24000 which would make each pixel 4 miles squared, which is a pretty pleasant number and still keeps us relatively close: we only shed a little over the square mileage of London. This one is my favorite.

Alternatively we could either shrink or grow the world to fit a different number, however unless there is wide demand I wouldn't see a reason to. making the pixel to mile ratio 1 to 1 or 2 to 2 would make the world very small, but depending on what your view is this could actually be a good thing.
enlarging the world to 30000 to make each pixel 5 square miles would make travel hard.

pic related is a map I made with distance measures based on the 4 kilometers per pixel. This catbox contains a png version of it.
