TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Billings.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Billings is a locality in Similkameen Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a town. Billings is located at 49.0167°N, 118.2333°W.
Billings rests in the quiet embrace of the Similkameen Division Yale Land District, where the land rises to meet the rugged slopes of Spencer Hill. It lies 15.1 km east of Grand Forks, BC (from Grand Forks, BC: bearing 96°T), and is situated 3.5 km south-south-west of Christina Lake. The Kettle River carves a path through the valley, its currents humming a low, persistent song against the stones that define the character of Billings. When the light leans long and golden across the terrain at dusk, the shadows of the hills seem to stretch and breathe, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels ancient. Nearby, the mist from Cascade Falls rises like a cool, silver veil barely a kilometer away, while the waters of Christina Lake shimmer thirteen kilometers distant, holding the reflection of the clouds in a deep, steady gaze. To the south, the open space of Christina Lake Park offers a quiet threshold three kilometers from the heart of the settlement, allowing the natural world to press close against the edges of human activity. Settled within a region shaped by the industry of the earth and the grit of those who first broke this ground, Billings retains a character forged by the demands of the frontier. The economy here has long mirrored the pulse of the surrounding woods and the persistent flow of the Kettle River, drawing life from the timber and the mineral wealth hidden in the high country. Daily life moves with the deliberate focus of those who understand the seasons, a tradition of self-reliance that persists in the way the local residents manage their land and their days. Even now, the air carries a crisp, clean clarity that speaks of the high elevation and the vast, untamed reaches of the province, ensuring that Billings remains a place where the work of the hands and the peace of the outdoors exist in simple, honest alignment.

It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
