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 Qingaaluk.
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.

Qingaaluk is a locality in Baie-d'Hudson; Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a town. Qingaaluk is located at 56.1708°N, 76.5869°W.
Qingaaluk rests upon the stark, resilient shore of Lac Tasiujaq, where the land rises into the rugged silhouettes of the Colline Katavviapik. It lies 42.5 km south of Umiujaq, QC (from Umiujaq, QC: bearing 183°T), and is situated 1.0 km north-north-west of Punngavialuk. The light here possesses a peculiar clarity, thin and sharp, which seems to sharpen the edges of the stone and scrub until they press against the vast, pale sky. Beyond the immediate perimeter of the settlement, the terrain shifts into a quiet wilderness where the Rivière Guérin winds through the tundra some 18 km away, and the expanse of Parc national Tursujuq waits about 20 km distant. During the long, cold months, the ice on Lac Tasiujaq groans with the weight of the frost, a deep and resonant sound that marks the passage of the season. Life in Qingaaluk has long been shaped by the cycles of the north, where the people maintain a deep connection to the land through traditions that have persisted through generations. The local economy relies on the careful harvest of the territory, a practice that demands both patience and a profound knowledge of the shifting weather. While the modern world touches the edges of daily existence, the character of Qingaaluk remains defined by the stillness of the horizon and the endurance of those who call this northern reach home. In the quiet hours of a summer dusk, when the sun lingers low and amber against the dark water, the land seems to hold its breath, caught in a moment of absolute, ancient composure.
Qingaaluk s'éveille sous une lumière boréale qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde au-dessus des rives du Lac Tasiujaq. Depuis les hauteurs de la Colline Katavviapik, le regard embrasse une étendue sauvage où la terre et l'eau se rencontrent dans une rigueur silencieuse, sculptant un horizon d'une pureté rare. À une vingtaine de kilomètres, les terres du Parc national Tursujuq étendent leurs mystères géologiques, tandis que le cours de la Rivière Guérin serpente avec lenteur à travers la toundra, marquant le passage discret des éléments dans ce Nord-du-Québec souverain. La vie à Qingaaluk se déploie dans une fidélité aux gestes anciens, où chaque saison impose un rythme de respect envers la faune et la flore qui habitent ces contrées reculées. Ici, le vent apporte parfois l'écho des traditions inuites, rappelant aux habitants la profondeur de leur lien avec ce sol minéral et infini. Le soir venu, les ombres s'allongent sur les rochers, conférant au paysage une solennité presque religieuse, comme si le temps lui-même s'immobilisait pour contempler la beauté austère du Lac Tasiujaq sous le ciel immense. La permanence de Qingaaluk réside dans cette alliance fragile entre la rudesse du climat et la chaleur des foyers, offrant une existence humble, tournée vers la contemplation des forces naturelles qui dictent la marche 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. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
