Q: IS THE SCALE ACCURATE WHEN SHOWN ON LARGE SCALE MAPS ?

No. Ultraplot shows maps in Lon/Lat Projection and the scale displayed is for the centre of the map. However with this type of projection the scale is different at the equator and the poles. For example a world view shows Africa as roughly the same size of Greenland whereas it is approximately 14 times bigger. See here for a more detailed discussion.
