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 Synet.
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.

Synet is a locality in Port-Cartier; Sept-Rivières, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a small locality. Synet is located at 49.6058°N, 67.2231°W.
Synet rests upon the rugged edge of the St. Lawrence, where the land rises sharply to meet the shadow of the Mornes des Caouis. It lies 21.2 km north-north-east of Baie-Trinité, QC (from Baie-Trinité, QC: bearing 16°T), and is situated 8.9 km south-south-west of Pointe-aux-Anglais. The salt-heavy air clings to the skin here, carrying the cold, clean scent of deep water that flows past the mouth of the Petite rivière du Calumet. In the quiet hours of late afternoon, the light turns a bruised, metallic silver, catching the low scrub and the granite bones of the earth that define this stretch of the coast. Only three kilometers away, the still surface of Lac du Docteur-Roy holds the reflection of the sky, a dark mirror tucked into the creases of the forest. The terrain demands a certain persistence from those who dwell within its reach, as the terrain shifts between dense thickets and the stark, windswept rock that lines the northern shore. Life in Synet moves in alignment with the demands of the surrounding wilderness and the industrial pulse of Port-Cartier, which has long shaped the ambitions of the region. The economy bears the weight of northern extraction, with the movement of iron and timber providing a steady, mechanical counterpoint to the wild currents of the St. Lawrence. Families who have spent generations here understand the gravity of the winter, when the frost settles into the ground and the work shifts toward the maintenance of the lifeblood of the local industries. There is a spare, functional grace to the houses scattered along the slope, their structures built to withstand the gale that pushes inland from the gulf. Despite the industrial labor that defines the calendar, the presence of the Petite rivière du Calumet and the proximity to the silence of Lac du Docteur-Roy offer a reprieve, reminding residents that the wilderness remains the true master of the horizon.
Synet s’étire le long des rives du Saint-Laurent, là où le souffle salin rencontre la terre ferme dans une immensité qui semble suspendre le cours des heures. À proximité de Mornes des Caouis, le terrain s'élève avec une rudesse familière, rappelant aux habitants la force brute de la géographie septentrionale qui façonne leur quotidien. Les eaux de la Petite rivière du Calumet viennent se fondre dans le grand fleuve, traçant un sillon discret à travers un paysage dominé par la forêt boréale et le roc. Non loin de là, le Lac du Docteur-Roy sommeille dans le repli des terres, offrant un miroir immobile au ciel changeant de la région de Sept-Rivières. Dans cette partie du Québec, l’activité humaine se plie aux exigences du climat, entre l’industrie forestière et les traces laissées par les travailleurs qui ont bâti Synet avec la patience des gens habitués aux hivers longs. La lumière déclinante sur le Saint-Laurent colore les rivages d’un cuivre profond, révélant la texture du sol et la silhouette des arbres qui penchent vers le large. Chaque jour, le mouvement des marées dicte le rythme des activités, confirmant que Synet appartient à cet horizon indomptable où le vent porte toujours une odeur de conifères et de sel marin.

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.
