is there a way to add a vicinity map...say from google earth... and have the correct scale? i know how to add the map but i'm not sure how to give it a correct scale. Maybe a scale of 1 inch = 1 mile or similar.

Thanks

in google you can use a "measure" tool to get distance between 2 points. Use this distance to scale the image in your drawing, so it's true scale inmodelspace. In paperspace, scale viewport in the usual manner, say 1"=1 mile (1 : 5280 if PS is inches & MS is feet)
