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 Gimli.
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.

Gimli is a town in Manitoba, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Gimli is located at 50.6336°N, 96.9900°W.
Gimli rests upon the western edge of Lake Winnipeg, where the horizon dissolves into a seamless meeting of water and sky. It lies 34.4 km south-south-east of Arborg, MB (from Arborg, MB: bearing 152°T), and is situated 2.8 km east of Aspen Park. The land here remains flat and open, defined by the vast, shifting temperament of the lake that dictates the mood of every season. A short distance away, the quiet waters of the Drunken River move with a sluggish, deliberate pace through the landscape, while the quietude of Camp Morton Provincial Park offers a sheltered reprieve from the expansive shoreline. When the sun hangs low, the light stretches across the surface of the water, turning the reeds and the pebbled beach into shades of bruised copper and deep, cooling slate. The history of Gimli reflects the resilience of those who arrived to carve a life from this demanding environment, establishing a foundation that persists in the architecture and the lingering echoes of the past. Fishing has long served as the primary pulse of the economy, with boats returning to the docks to unload their catches, a cycle that remains essential to the identity of the locale. Beyond the docks, the local industry has diversified, yet the connection to the water remains the primary anchor for commerce and trade. The air often carries the sharp, clean scent of the lake, a constant reminder of the industry that has sustained generations through the long, biting winters and the brief, brilliant summers. Cultural life in Gimli thrives through traditions that honor its deep roots, often gathering residents and visitors alike to celebrate the enduring heritage that defines the spirit of the shore. Landmarks rise against the sky, standing as silent sentinels that observe the daily movements of the people who walk the streets or wander toward the water’s edge. Events held throughout the year draw a steady stream of interest, bringing a sudden vitality to the streets that contrasts with the stillness of the surrounding landscape. Whether under the intensity of a midsummer afternoon or the muted, grey light of an autumn morning, the character of Gimli persists, grounded in the simple, honest reality of a life lived beside the water.

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.
