Maps and navigation for getting around, curated for travelers visiting Canada.
Google Maps remains the most useful general navigation download for a visitor because it combines driving, walking, cycling, transit directions, business hours, reviews and offline maps. Download the relevant city or driving region before leaving reliable service, particularly for road trips and outdoor destinations. Offline maps do not provide every live feature, so confirm closures and conditions while connected. Weather is part of safe navigation in Canada, where snow, freezing rain, wildfire smoke, extreme heat and fast-changing mountain conditions can affect a route. WeatherCAN is the federal government's official app for forecasts and weather alerts across more than 10,000 Canadian locations. It is optional for a city break but valuable for winter driving, hiking, camping or a multi-region trip. Save accommodation, fuel, charging and emergency stops before a remote drive, and do not assume continuous mobile coverage in parks or northern areas. Turn on WeatherCAN alerts for the current and next destination, including air-quality notifications during wildfire season. A map route is not confirmation that a seasonal road, trail or border crossing is open; check the responsible park, province or operator before departure.
