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 Cap-des-Rosiers.
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.

Cap-des-Rosiers is a village in Gaspé; La Côte-de-Gaspé, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Cap-des-Rosiers is located at 48.8658°N, 64.2125°W.
Cap-des-Rosiers sits perched against the vast, cold expanse of the St. Lawrence, where the land abruptly yields to the relentless push of the tides. It lies 19.8 km east-north-east of Gaspé, QC (from Gaspé, QC: bearing 77°T), and is situated 15.9 km north-east of Douglastown. The air here carries a sharp, saline weight, often clarified by the light of a low sun that turns the water into beaten silver before the shadows lengthen. To the east, the rugged reaches of Forillon National Park of Canada rise as a formidable anchor against the sea, while the quiet, winding course of the Rivière de l'Anse au Griffon serves as a terrestrial tether some ten kilometers inland. The terrain holds a stark, elemental composure, defined by the meeting of weathered cliffs and the maritime horizon that seems to stretch indefinitely into the gray northern currents. The history of Cap-des-Rosiers remains deeply anchored in the maritime toil of those who once navigated these treacherous coastal waters. Generations have looked toward the sea for sustenance, maintaining an economy that has long balanced the unpredictable yield of the fishing industry with the seasonal presence of travelers drawn to the dramatic collision of rock and surf. Daily life moves with the tides and the shifting winds, a quiet endurance that persists despite the isolation of the Gaspé peninsula. A distinct, salt-hardened resilience lingers in the architecture and the stillness of the shoreline, marking a site where the human presence is small against the immense, indifferent reach of the gulf.
Cap-des-Rosiers s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard s'égare dans l'immensité saline sous une lumière déclinante qui semble suspendre le monde à la pointe extrême de la péninsule. Ce rivage, façonné par les vents marins et la rudesse des hivers, impose une présence minérale austère et magnifique, contrastant avec la proximité du parc national Forillon du Canada qui s'élève à environ 11 km pour protéger les falaises abruptes et la flore sauvage. Les habitants de Cap-des-Rosiers entretiennent une relation intime avec cette mer nourricière, héritée d'une longue tradition de pêche et d'une ténacité qui défie les marées. À quelques encablures, la Rivière de l'Anse au Griffon coule avec une régularité apaisante à environ 10 km, offrant une transition douce entre les hautes terres et l'estuaire. L’histoire des lieux, marquée par le labeur des bâtisseurs et des familles venues affronter l'isolement, imprègne chaque demeure faisant face à l'horizon. Ici, le ciel change de tonalité avec une lenteur solennelle, transformant les eaux grises en miroirs argentés tandis que le phare, sentinelle immobile, veille sur le passage des navires. Ce paysage impose une humilité profonde, un respect silencieux pour la puissance des éléments qui dictent, depuis toujours, le rythme des jours.

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.
