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 Tarantum.
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.

Tarantum is a locality in Queens, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Tarantum is located at 46.2907°N, 62.9530°W.
Tarantum occupies a quiet reach of land where the earth leans toward the Gulf of St. Lawrence, defined by the steady, dark presence of Mount Ryan Hill rising against the horizon. It lies 15.1 km east-north-east of Charlottetown, PE (from Charlottetown, PE: bearing 68°T), and is situated 10.4 km south-west of Mount Stewart. The Glenfinnan River cuts a winding path through the terrain, its waters holding the silver light of dawn before moving toward the sea. Only a kilometer away, the stillness of Glenfinnan Lake mirrors the sky, providing a sanctuary for the local birds that stir the reeds as the tide shifts. The air here carries a sharp, salt-heavy clarity, cooling the fields and grounding the landscape in a gravity that feels both ancient and immediate. The character of Tarantum emerges from a long history of working the soil and the shore, where the economy remains tied to the cycles of the harvest and the coastal tides. While the wider beauty of the region is celebrated at Parc national du Canada de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, life in Tarantum follows the intimate scale of its own meadows and woodlots. Residents maintain a way of living that values the seasonal transition, from the first thaw that wakes the Glenfinnan River to the long, amber evenings when the shadows of Mount Ryan Hill stretch across the valley. There is a particular honesty in the way the land is tended here, a quiet attention to the fields that sustains the identity of the people who call Tarantum home.

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.
