title: How do I change the scale displayed in Google Maps API v3 to imperial (miles) units
body: <p>I'm simply displaying a map, with no routing or directions.  I can add the control with mapOptions = {...scaleControl: true,...} but I could find no documentation about changing the units of the scale to imperial.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var mapOptions = {
      zoom: 4,
      mapTypeControl: false,
      center: new google.maps.LatLng(38.8282, -98.5795),
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
      scaleControl: true,
      scaleControlOptions: {position: google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_LEFT}
  };
  google.maps.visualRefresh = true;
  
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'),mapOptions);   
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note: The ControlPosition appears not to work, always goes to bottom right.</p>
