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 Grande-Digue.
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.

Grande-Digue is a locality in Kent, New Brunswick, Canada. It is classified as a town. Grande-Digue is located at 46.2965°N, 64.5618°W.
Grande-Digue rests along the Atlantic coast, where the horizon meets the salt-heavy air of New Brunswick. It lies 8.5 km north-north-west of Shediac, NB (from Shediac, NB: bearing 349°T), and is situated 7.4 km south-east of Beausoleil. The terrain here slopes toward the water, shaped by the presence of the Shediac River and the subtle elevation of the nearby Fisher Hill. At dusk, the light catches the surface of the river, turning the water into a sheet of hammered silver that contrasts with the dark, sturdy grasses of the shoreline. This coastal edge dictates the temperament of the land, keeping the air cool and damp even when the sun hangs high in the summer sky. It is a landscape defined by this proximity to the tides, where the rhythm of the water influences how the wind moves across the fields. Grande-Digue maintains a character rooted in the resilience of those who have long harvested the bounty of the sea and the surrounding soil. The local economy persists through a quiet dedication to fishing and small-scale agriculture, trades that have defined the daily movements of residents for generations. The people here share a cultural identity shaped by the Acadian heritage, visible in the traditions that persist in the quiet corners of the village and the way the houses face the water. Throughout the day, one hears the distinct sounds of a working coast—the hum of engines leaving the docks and the steady, insistent lap of the waves against the shore.
Grande-Digue s'étire le long de la côte atlantique, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de se perdre dans l'immensité saline. Le paysage s'ordonne autour de la colline Fisher, qui offre un promontoire discret sur les eaux tranquilles de la rivière Shediac. Ici, le vent marin apporte une fraîcheur constante, sculptant la silhouette des arbres et imprégnant les maisons d'une patience propre aux lieux tournés vers l'horizon. La vie à Grande-Digue suit le mouvement lent des marées, dans un rythme dicté par une longue lignée acadienne qui a su cultiver ce sol rocailleux et salé. Les traces de l'industrie traditionnelle persistent dans les casiers à homard empilés sur les quais, rappelant une économie liée aux ressources de la mer qui définit encore les contours de l'existence locale. Au crépuscule, la lumière s'attarde sur les rives de la rivière Shediac, dorant les herbes hautes et soulignant le calme minéral de la colline Fisher. Le silence qui s'installe alors n'est pas une absence, mais une présence dense, celle d'une terre qui garde en elle la mémoire des ancêtres tout en accueillant, chaque jour, le retour des pêcheurs et la respiration paisible de l'Atlantique.

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 Grande-Digue 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.
