This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Candiac, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Candiac.
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.

Candiac is a town in Candiac; Roussillon, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Candiac is located at 45.3948°N, 73.5191°W.
Candiac rests upon the southern shore of the St. Lawrence, where the land yields to the gentle presence of the Rivière de la Tortue. It lies 13.0 km south-south-east of Montréal, QC (from Montréal, QC: bearing 168°T), and is situated 14.9 km south-south-west of Longueuil. The local horizon is shaped by the proximity of the Le Coteau, a rise in the terrain that catches the slanted, amber light of late afternoon, casting long shadows across the quiet residential streets. In the distance, the landscape holds the memory of deeper geography, with Lac de l'Île Notre-Dame situated twelve kilometers away and the expansive terrain of Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno rising twenty-three kilometers to the northeast. The air here carries a crisp, river-fed moisture, cooling the skin even during the height of the summer heat. Candiac emerged from the deliberate planning of mid-century development, transforming former agricultural tracts into a residential landscape that prioritizes order and accessibility. The local economy thrives on a balance of service-oriented commerce and industrial enterprise, supporting a population that values the steady pulse of a well-maintained environment. Notable for its commitment to green spaces, Candiac preserves the natural corridors along the Rivière de la Tortue, allowing the inhabitants a constant, quiet intimacy with the water. The daily movement of people through the streets reflects a disciplined, modern vitality, yet the quietude of the surrounding fields persists, grounding the daily routine in the fundamental character of the Quebec landscape.
Candiac déploie ses horizons sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle du large rencontre la quiétude des terres habitées. Le courant de la Rivière de la Tortue serpente avec une lenteur calculée à travers le relief, offrant aux résidents une présence liquide qui apaise le regard à chaque fin de journée. Vers l'ouest, la silhouette du Coteau dessine une courbe douce sur le ciel, tandis qu'à une douzaine de kilomètres, le Lac de l'Île Notre-Dame capte les reflets changeants de la lumière crépusculaire. Plus loin, vers l'est, la masse boisée du Parc national du Mont-Saint-Bruno se devine dans la brume, rappelant la proximité d'une nature préservée. Candiac, née d'une vision moderne sur des assises agricoles anciennes, cultive un équilibre singulier entre le développement urbain et le respect de ces eaux qui la bordent. Les habitants observent le passage des heures dans une atmosphère où l'air semble parfois chargé d'une mémoire ancienne, celle des premiers occupants et des colons qui ont su lire la topographie de cette plaine fertile. La vie quotidienne s'articule ici avec une précision sereine, portée par le rythme des flux naturels qui structurent le paysage bien avant que le béton ne vienne s'y poser.

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.
