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 Saint-Gilles.
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.

Saint-Gilles is a municipality in Saint-Gilles; Lotbinière, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Saint-Gilles is located at 46.5167°N, 71.3667°W.
Saint-Gilles sits nestled within the rolling expanse of the Lotbinière region, where the land yields to the persistent, low-slung currents of the Rivière Beaurivage. It lies 26.9 km south of Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC (from Vieux-Cap-Rouge, QC: bearing 182°T), and is situated 7.5 km south-east of Saint-Agapit. The air here holds a crisp, persistent clarity, often catching the amber light of late afternoon as it spills across the fields near Le Dos de Cheval. While Lac Fraser remains a quiet, distant presence some 8 kilometers away, the local horizon is defined primarily by the steady, unassuming flow of the river that has long dictated the layout of the fields and farmsteads. Saint-Gilles carries the quiet weight of a place built on the cycles of the harvest, where the soil dictates the pace of the day and the architecture reflects a history of agrarian resilience. The local economy persists in its commitment to the land, maintaining a character rooted in the traditions of Quebec agriculture and the modest, industrious nature of those who work the earth. In the quiet hours, one might notice how the shadow of the landscape lengthens across the valley, grounding the residents in a geography that values endurance over haste.
Saint-Gilles s’étire avec une patience minérale sur les terres de Lotbinière, là où la lumière décline en teintes de cuivre sur les crêtes du Dos de Cheval. Le regard suit le tracé nonchalant de la Rivière Beaurivage, dont les eaux, chargées de sédiments et de souvenirs, sculptent le relief avec une lenteur qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. À huit kilomètres de là, le Lac Fraser repose dans une immobilité presque magnétique, offrant un miroir aux cieux changeants de la plaine. L’histoire de Saint-Gilles se lit dans le sillon des charrues et la persistance des fermes qui ponctuent l’horizon, héritières d’une ruralité qui refuse de s’effacer devant la course du monde moderne. L’air y possède une texture particulière, une fraîcheur humide qui monte du sol après l’ondée, rappelant aux habitants la rudesse et la générosité des cycles de la terre. Ici, le rythme quotidien est dicté par le bruissement des récoltes et le silence qui s’installe dès que le soleil bascule derrière les hauteurs. Saint-Gilles demeure une présence singulière, un espace où chaque bâtiment, chaque rangée d’arbres et chaque méandre dessinent une géographie de la mémoire, humble et pourtant indélébile dans sa manière de tenir son rang face à l’immensité.

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.
