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 Lunenburg.
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.

Lunenburg is a town in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a large city. Lunenburg is located at 44.3779°N, 64.3095°W.
Lunenburg rests upon the Atlantic coast, anchored to the rising slopes of Blockhouse Hill where the salt-heavy air clings to the painted wooden facades of its historic buildings. It lies 16.6 km east of Bridgewater, NS (from Bridgewater, NS: bearing 90°T), and is situated 12.2 km south of Martins River. The terrain holds a crisp clarity, particularly at dusk when the fading light catches the whitecaps of the bay and casts long, violet shadows against the steep, narrow streets. Inland, the landscape turns toward the quieter reaches of the region, where Steverman Lake rests in a hollow about 3 km away and the LaHave River flows steadily through the broader countryside about 10 km from the salt-sprayed center. Even at a distance of 19 km, the presence of Cooks Falls lingers in the mind as a reminder of the hidden, moving waters that define the character of this maritime peninsula. The history of Lunenburg is defined by the resilience of those who arrived to carve a livelihood from the unpredictable Atlantic, turning the town into a primary hub for maritime commerce and deep-sea fishing. Generations of shipbuilders and mariners have refined their crafts here, their labor fueling an economy that once relied on the bounty of the ocean and now sustains itself through a careful blend of heritage preservation and tourism. The architecture itself serves as a ledger of this industry, with brightly colored homes climbing the hillside to provide clear sightlines for families watching the harbor. Work here possesses a tangible weight, as the sound of hammers on hulls and the rhythmic clatter of fishing gear against the docks persist as the heartbeat of the local industry. Cultural life in Lunenburg unfolds with a quiet intensity, marked by a pride in the wooden schooners that have carried the name of the place across the globe. Residents maintain a deep connection to the traditions of the sea, which manifest in the careful maintenance of historic landmarks and the persistent, salt-worn charm of the waterfront. The community gathers throughout the year to honor its heritage, often finding common ground in the shared experience of living between the forest and the open water. While famous figures such as the musician Rose Cousins have drawn inspiration from the atmosphere of the coast, the true spirit of Lunenburg resides in the daily persistence of its people, who continue to find beauty in the way the morning fog rolls up from the Atlantic to soften the edges of the horizon.

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.
