How much DHTML would a scale require?

So I've been playing with Google Maps like a good boy, but I have to say, those maps desparately need a scale on them.

The UI is great, the interaction with local searches and directions is great, but I'm constantly glancing around the map pane, frantically wondering, "Could I walk from this place over here to that place over there?", or "Man, how long would that drive be?". Yahoo! does it, you know. So do most other sane map-providers in the world.

I don't want to have to go through the orderal of getting directions from one place to the other, I just want a stick in the corner that will let me eyeball a quick 'yes' or 'no'.

Seriously fellas, stop goofing off
