In the English language, the word large-scale is often used to mean

The hectare (/ ˈ h ɛ k t ɛər,-t ɑːr /; SI symbol: ha) is a non-SI metric unit of area equal to a square with 100-metre sides (1 hm 2), that is, 10,000 square metres (10,000 m 2), and is primarily used in the measurement of land.
The Schmidt net's horizontal axis can then be used as a scalar measuring device to convert the point's latitude (relative to the pole) into a radial distance from the centre of the circle. Alternatively, the Schmidt net could be replaced entirely with a correctly projected polar grid, and grid squares from a map re-drawn into this disc.
