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 Romieu.
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.

Romieu is a locality in Les Méchins; La Matanie, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Romieu is located at 48.9986°N, 66.7908°W.
Romieu rests along the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the salt air meets the steep, rising contours of the La Grande Arête. It lies 13.2 km south-west of Cap-Chat, QC (from Cap-Chat, QC: bearing 215°T), and is situated 13.8 km east of Les Méchins. The land here holds a stark, singular beauty, particularly at dusk when the grey light pulls the horizon tight against the water and the distant, dark slopes of the terrain. While the Rivière Cap-Chat flows through its own quiet course some 6 km away, the terrestrial influence of Romieu is defined by the proximity of the wilderness, with Lac McLaughlin situated only 4 km inland. The immense reach of the landscape is underscored by the presence of Parc national de la Gaspésie, which sits 38 km away, acting as a profound reminder of the dense, mountainous interior that looms behind the coastal strip. Life in Romieu unfolds with a directness born of its position within Les Méchins and the wider La Matanie region, where the economy has long looked toward the sea and the forest for its sustenance. The history of the locality is anchored in the hard, practical labor of those who settled this shoreline, carving a living from the intersection of wind, tide, and timber. Daily life follows the shifting temperament of the St. Lawrence, a presence that dictates the pace of work and the seasonal turn of the year. There is a quiet endurance in the houses that face the water, standing firm against the elements that define the character of Romieu and its neighbors. The people here maintain a clear, unsentimental connection to the geography, valuing the stillness that descends when the coastal winds settle and the evening light catches the spray of the surf.
Romieu s'étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le regard se perd dans l'immensité saline sous une lumière de fin de jour qui semble suspendre le souffle du monde. La terre, façonnée par les rigueurs du climat et le travail patient des hommes, porte en elle la mémoire des défrichements et d'une industrie forestière qui a longtemps dicté le rythme des jours. À proximité, le relief s'élève vers La Grande Arête, offrant une frontière naturelle qui protège les habitations des vents dominants. L'eau demeure le véritable pouls de ce paysage, que ce soit par la présence du Lac McLaughlin, blotti dans les terres à quelques kilomètres, ou par le cours de la Rivière Cap-Chat qui dévale vers l'estuaire. Romieu conserve une allure humble, faite de maisons qui bravent les embruns et de sentiers menant vers le Parc national de la Gaspésie, dont la masse imposante dessine l'horizon lointain. Ici, le quotidien se mesure aux marées et à la texture des sols, dans une solitude qui n'a rien de triste, mais qui impose un silence attentif. Chaque soir, l'air devient plus vif, rappelant aux habitants que la nature, sauvage et indomptable, demeure la seule autorité véritable sur ce rivage du Québec.

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.
