When a map is to 'scale' it means there is a specific key and all distances on the map have been measured precisely to the scale listed in the key. In other words, you can rely upon the information as being accurate. When a map is "not to scale" this measure of accuracy has not been checked. Some distances may be accurate, or really close, but you should not rely upon the information as fact.
