Felt compelled to come read this because I couldn’t imagine latex not being for chemists. Then I realized it was Latex, not latex.
I personally favor the mhchem package for typesetting chemical formulae: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/mhchem.html

i didn’t know latex could mean and used in many different ways..
does exist latex for navigation or for topografists
Depends what you want to do. Here is something that might be useful: Scalebar.
