So it might not be that your chart has shrunk, but the difference is somehow designed in.
If it's the same as mine (current issue EG-5), it actually says 1:501,500 which is an error of 0.3%, or 1 mile in 333 - or approximately the width of the chart.
I'd love to be able to say that I can fly to an accuracy that comes close to that mattering. But I can't.
