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 Burnside.
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.

Burnside is a neighbourhood in Terra Nova, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Burnside is located at 48.7167°N, 53.7992°W.
Burnside rests firmly upon the Atlantic coast, perched within the rugged embrace of the Beef Bone Hill. It lies 17.6 km east of Glovertown, NL (from Glovertown, NL: bearing 81°T), and is situated 15.9 km east-north-east of Glovertown South. The terrain here is defined by a hard, salt-sprayed geology, where the land rises in sharp, stony contours that capture the bruised violet light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate rise of the hills, the landscape opens to the vast, cold reach of the sea, while the Terra Nova River flows through the distant interior and Terra Nova National Park of Canada guards the wilder expanses further inland. In the quiet hours, the air carries a sharp, metallic tang of brine, and the wind moves across the exposed rock with a low, insistent whistle that clarifies the mind. The history of Burnside is held in the persistence of those who turned toward the water for their livelihood, finding sustenance in the deep, frigid currents of the Atlantic. While the economy has shifted over generations, the inhabitants maintain a sharp awareness of the shifting tides and the seasonal migrations that dictate the pulse of life along the shore. Daily routines are marked by the methodical care of equipment and the steady, quiet labor required to survive on the edge of such a formidable coastline. Even as the modern world intrudes, Burnside keeps a certain gravity, grounded in the ancient, unyielding relationship between the people and the unforgiving stone of the Beef Bone Hill.

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 Burnside 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.
