A few days in...

I’ve been busy mapping regional connections all over my part of the state. My favorite things I’ve done so far is the new beltway around a neighboring city called Corunya and a new downtown connector into a city named Choruscus Bay.

I have also expanded my downtown Jameʃtowne street network and I think I fixed the scaling issues that it originally had.

Hi there! It seems there are still scaling issues going on. Before mapping any more “regional connections” it would probably be a good idea to work on getting the scaling right, so that you won’t have to go back and fix everything later.

To make stuff the correct size, just look at real places at the same scale while you’re mapping. For example, compare the Autoroute Corunya to some of the biggest motorways in the US: http://i.imgur.com/qSejnQu.png

Also, check out our tutorial on Making Realistic Cities and maybe try just focusing on Jameʃtowne — a lot of people find it useful to develop their skills in a small area before moving on to bigger stuff like regional networks.

Thank you! I didn’t even think to compare my stuff on OpenGeofiction to real stuff on OpenStreetMap.
