Explore Panorama, British Columbia, Canada, with this interactive street and satellite map. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above the map to switch views. You can “grab” the map and drag it to re-centre it, or use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours — plus shaded relief, a labelled UTM grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Panorama, British Columbia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of British Columbia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Panorama and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Panorama.
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.

Panorama is a recreational community in Kootenay Land District, British Columbia, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Panorama is located at 50.4583°N, 116.2375°W.
Panorama sits nestled within the high, rugged reaches of the Kootenay Land District, a landscape defined by the sharp, imposing presence of the Farnham Ridge. It lies 15.6 km west-south-west of Invermere, BC (from Invermere, BC: bearing 250°T), and is situated 14.7 km south-west of Wilmer. The air here holds a crisp, thin clarity, often catching the pale, violet light of dusk as it lingers against the slopes. While the Columbia River flows through the distant lowlands some 16 km away, the immediate terrain remains dominated by the steep, pine-cloaked inclines that seem to hold the sky at bay. Nearby, the stillness of Barbour Lake rests in a quiet basin 9 km distant, while the icy, ancient mass of Delphine Glacier looms 14 km away, a silent sentinel of frost that dictates the cooling breath of the evening winds. The development of Panorama evolved from the rugged demands of the interior, shifting from early resource interests to a focus on the alpine environment that defines its character. Today, the economy of Panorama thrives on the seasonal pulse of the slopes, drawing those who seek the vertical challenge of the ridges. Life in this high-altitude pocket moves with a singular focus on the elements, where the transition from deep snow to the brief, brilliant bloom of summer defines the calendar. Residents and visitors alike share an unspoken acknowledgement of the surrounding heights, finding a steady, grounded perspective in the sheer scale of the Farnham Ridge and the persistent, glacial chill that drifts down from the high country.

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 Panorama 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.
