d.barscale displays a barscale on the graphics monitor at the
given screen coordinates. If no coordinates are given it will draw the
barscale in the bottom left of the display.
The barscale can drawn in a number of styles (see style
parameter for their previews).
d.barscale will not work in Lat/Lon locations as the horizontal
scale distance changes with latitude.
Try
d.grid instead.
