It does show that value, next to the zoom buttons, but not on phones because there isn't really enough room.

Zooming the map in and out is really easy now, but I miss the map scale info (1:250,000; 1:500,000 etc.)
Don't suppose it will be possible to show that some how?
Or, alternatively, some sort of "distance" bar/scale just to give an indication of distances.
