Study the place in Toronto further. How long are the motorway exits? How big are the buildings and how far spaced apart are they? How do large roads connect to smaller ones? How much space do junctions take up? How regular are the blocks? How much do you want this to look like a Canadian city, eh?

I recommend the scale comparison tool.

Thanks guys.

Given that you’ve posted a link to the real world example you’re mimicking I don’t see how you can still get the scale so wrong. You know that the zoom levels on OGF and OSM are (more-or-less) directly comparable.

Here’s the scale tool Thunderbird recommended, centered at the relevant locations:

http://tile.opengeofiction.net/util/map_scale.html?map=15.920760936966246/-46.68217/65.50275&map2=x/43.79747/-79.19770&pxpt=0.277&scale=6250

Hope this helps…

Are the houses in Copper yours, too ? It may not hurt to use the ‘make rectangle’-tool (available in both Potlatch2 and ID) to make the houses a little less, er, eccentric. It will certainly help the ‘Canadification’ ;-)
