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 Yarmouth.
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.

Yarmouth is a town in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is classified as a major city. Yarmouth is located at 43.8387°N, 66.1152°W.
Yarmouth rests upon the rugged edge of the Atlantic coast, where the salt-heavy air clings to the skin and the horizon dissolves into an endless, shifting grey. It lies 15.4 km north-west of Wedgeport, NS (from Wedgeport, NS: bearing 315°T), and is situated 3.9 km south-south-west of Dayton. The landscape rises into the Sidon Hill, a sentinel overlooking the flow of the Chegoggin River as it carries the inland secrets toward the sea. To the north, the waters of Lake Milo offer a quiet respite from the restless tides, while the distant, rushing descent of Sweeneys Falls provides a hidden cadence to the surrounding woods. Beyond the immediate reach of the shore, the verdant expanses of Ellenwood Lake Provincial Park hold the stillness of the interior, grounding the coastal intensity in the deep, rooted quiet of the forest. The chronicles of Yarmouth begin with the endurance of those who first looked toward the horizon for their livelihood, establishing a settlement that grew alongside the tides. Early inhabitants recognized the utility of the Chegoggin River, using its path to navigate the dense, untamed terrain that once defined this maritime frontier. As the years turned, the dwellings of Yarmouth expanded from modest timber frames into a collection of sturdy structures that mirrored the resilience of the Atlantic itself. The growth was steady, fueled by an intimate knowledge of the currents and a persistent drive to carve a life out of the rocky, wind-swept earth. The economy of Yarmouth thrives on the bounty of the cold, deep waters, with a maritime industry that dictates the daily pulse of the docks and the collective ambition of its people. Fishing vessels return with the morning light, their hulls heavy with the harvest of the sea, while the local markets hum with the commerce of a region defined by its oceanic connection. Beyond the salt-spray industry, Yarmouth serves as a vital nexus for the southwestern edge of the province, providing essential services and trade routes that sustain the surrounding hamlets. The industry here is not merely a means of survival but a way of engaging with the relentless, churning power of the Atlantic. Cultural life in Yarmouth is colored by a heritage of seafaring traditions and the quiet, persistent creativity of its inhabitants. While the streets remain free of grand universities, the intellectual curiosity of the locals finds expression in community gatherings and the preservation of local lore. Notable individuals, including figures like the politician A.F. Churchill or the explorer Joseph Ellis Fillmore, have emerged from this coastal setting, carrying the influence of the Sidon Hill winds into their wider pursuits. Life here moves in accordance with the turning of the seasons, where the arrival of autumn brings a crisp clarity to the air and the winter months settle over the landscape with a heavy, contemplative silence.

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.
