I run SD on a Samsung Galaxy S8. The displayed map scale varies depending on the phase of flight (take-off, en-route or landing).
I‌ can also change the scale by "pinching" the map display.
I‌ notice that the map scale is displayed temporarily while "pinching", which is a good feature, although can be difficult to view due to my hand being in the way!
H‌owever the map "scale" display function seemed to stop working after changing scale a few times and I had to guess what was the 1:500,000 scale.

I‌s there any way to implement a single (or two) "touch"‌ of something on the screen to get the map scale back to my default setting?

Zooming in or out occurs in pre-determined steps, even when pinching or spreading. To get back to your default zoom level, depending on whether or not you are zoomed in or out, just tap the "+" or "-" button one or more times, as required. The map scale is displayed next to the buttons, so you can see when you have achieved your default scale.

Mike,
P‌erhaps it is the size of the Samsung Galaxy S8 display (and I use mine in portrait display mode), but the map scale isn't displayed at all when tapping either the + or - buttons.

Press and hold on either the + or - to reset to your favourite scale, as defined in the planning options.
