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 Kelowna.
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.

Kelowna is a city in Osoyoos Division Yale Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a major city. Kelowna is located at 49.8881°N, 119.4956°W.
Kelowna rests with a quiet weight against the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake, cradled by a landscape that feels both ancient and expectant. It lies 21.4 km north-east of Peachland, BC (from Peachland, BC: bearing 54°T), and is situated 11.7 km east-north-east of Westbank. The air here holds a particular clarity, often catching the amber light of dusk as it settles over the slopes near the Mine Hill, where the earth seems to exhale the day’s heat. Beyond the immediate reach of the shoreline, the terrain rises in rugged contours that define the horizon, while the Nicola River flows through the broader regional expanse thirty kilometers away. Closer to the pulse of the outer edges, Bear Creek Park offers a sanctuary where the land meets the water, providing a retreat for those who seek the stillness found in the intersection of forest and lake. The settlement of Kelowna emerged from a vision of transformation, turning the arid, sun-drenched benches of the Osoyoos Division Yale Land District into a place of sustained habitation. Early pioneers recognized the potential within the soil, laboring to clear the brush and establish roots where the climate permitted a longer reach of the seasons. As the years progressed, the settlement grew from a collection of homesteads into a central hub, its development mirroring the steady expansion of trade and infrastructure across the interior. The history of Kelowna is marked by this transition from raw landscape to an organized community, where the persistence of those early settlers left a lingering sense of intentionality upon the ground they cleared. Economic life in Kelowna draws its strength from the fertile benches and the sustained productivity of the land, which has long favored agriculture as a primary pillar of regional stability. Orchards and vineyards define the visual character of the surrounding hills, contributing to an economy that values both the harvest and the stewardship of the environment. Beyond the orchards, Kelowna acts as a vital nexus for services and commerce, supporting a range of industries that keep the region active and connected. The steady hum of daily industry remains tied to the cycles of the seasons, ensuring that the prosperity of Kelowna stays aligned with the natural rhythms of the Okanagan valley. The cultural identity of Kelowna manifests in a blend of academic pursuit and a deep-seated appreciation for the outdoors, fostered by institutions such as the University of British Columbia Okanagan. Residents and visitors alike find common ground in annual gatherings that celebrate the local harvest, reflecting a community that takes pride in its unique position within British Columbia. Notable figures have emerged from this environment, including athletes like Carey Price, whose presence has brought a distinct recognition to the region. Whether through the academic halls or the shared spaces of the waterfront, Kelowna sustains a character that is defined by the quality of its light, the texture of its slopes, and the enduring influence of its geographic setting.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. 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.
Location data for Kelowna is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
