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 Le Galet-Plat.
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.

Le Galet-Plat is a locality in Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine; Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Le Galet-Plat is located at 47.3564°N, 61.8750°W.
Le Galet-Plat rests upon the shifting edges of the St. Lawrence, a landscape defined by the stark, windswept crests of the Butte du Marconi. It lies 2.1 km south of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC (from Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine, QC: bearing 189°T), and is situated 3.0 km south-south-west of Cap-aux-Meules. The terrain here holds a stubborn, salt-bitten clarity, where the light at dusk turns the water into polished slate and the air carries the sharp, clean scent of crushed kelp. Inland, the land contours toward the stillness of Lac à Henri, which sits four kilometres away, reflecting the vast, open sky like a dark mirror held against the dunes. The ground beneath one’s feet feels resilient and ancient, shaped by the persistent push of the tide and the relentless, scouring breath of the northern winds that define the character of Le Galet-Plat. The people of Le Galet-Plat carry the history of these islands in the calloused grace of their hands, a legacy of resilience built upon the unpredictable bounty of the sea. Life here moves in alignment with the seasonal migration of the catch, an economy that has always relied on the cold, deep currents of the St. Lawrence to sustain its households. There is a quiet intensity to the way the days unfold, marked by the methodical repair of nets and the steady pulse of engines heading out before the dawn breaks the horizon. Traditions here are kept not in books, but in the practiced movements of those who know how to navigate the Butte du Marconi when the fog rolls in, ensuring that the knowledge of the tides remains as vital as the salt that seasons the daily bread.
Le Galet-Plat s'étire avec une humilité minérale sur les rives du Saint-Laurent, là où la terre semble hésiter avant de se laisser conquérir par les eaux salines. Dans la Butte du Marconi, la lumière du crépuscule dépose un éclat cuivré sur le sol, révélant une topographie austère qui a su façonner le caractère de ses habitants. À quelques kilomètres de là, les eaux calmes du Lac à Henri offrent un contraste saisissant avec la puissance du grand fleuve qui dicte, depuis toujours, le rythme des marées et des travaux saisonniers. La rudesse du climat insulaire a forgé ici une résilience particulière, héritée d'un long patrimoine acadien qui persiste dans la façon dont les maisons tournent leur dos aux vents dominants. L'économie locale, portée par une connaissance intime des courants, demeure fidèle aux gestes ancestraux de la pêche et de l'exploitation modeste des ressources maritimes. À mesure que l'obscurité gagne les terres, Le Galet-Plat paraît se recroqueviller sur lui-même, protégeant ses traditions contre l'effacement du monde moderne tout en observant, imperturbable, les reflets changeants du Saint-Laurent qui ne cessent jamais leur dialogue avec le rivage.
