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 Foxtrap.
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.

Foxtrap is a neighbourhood in Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Foxtrap is located at 47.5086°N, 52.9822°W.
Foxtrap stands where the rugged edge of the Atlantic coast meets the rising slope of the White Hill. It lies 14.2 km west-north-west of St. John's, NL (from St. John's, NL: bearing 282°T), and is situated 12.9 km west of Mount Pearl. The Foxtrap River carves a dark, persistent vein through the terrain, its movement a constant, low-frequency hum against the stillness of the rocks. Here, the light at dusk possesses a bruised, oceanic quality, turning the salt-stung air into a thin veil that clings to the sparse, resilient vegetation. Butter Pot Provincial Park waits just fifteen kilometers inland, a reminder of the vast, unpeopled wild that presses against the fringes of the coast. Long defined by the harvest of the sea and the stubborn cultivation of the thin, rocky soil, Foxtrap maintains a character carved from necessity and the patience of those who know how to wait out a gale. The local economy has shifted from the traditional reach of the fishing schooner toward the broader connections of modern commerce, yet the pulse of the place remains tied to the salt water and the steep incline of the land. Everyday life here moves with the practical gravity of a place that understands the weight of the winter wind and the sudden, sharp clarity of a clear morning. In the quiet corners of the roads, one still finds the remnants of a legacy rooted in the hard, honest work of generations who looked out at the horizon and saw not an end, but a beginning.

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 Foxtrap 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.
