Free Mapping Tools for Canada
We run free, privacy-first mapping tools at maptools.uk for the UK and here at maptools.co for the US and Australia. This is the Canadian version, built from the ground up using Canadian address data, not a US, UK, or AU tool with the labels changed.
11 tools are live and free to use below. Tell us what you'd want built next and it directly shapes what we prioritise.

LiveNearest Postal Codes
Find the nearest postal codes to any location, ranked by distance, with tied results shown honestly when ranking isn't reliable

LiveToilet Finder
Find public washrooms near you in Canada: verified city data in six major cities, community-mapped coverage everywhere else, with accessibility and hours shown where recorded
LiveDistance Between
Calculate the straight-line distance between any two Canadian places, addresses, or postal codes, with how precisely each result was found stated plainly
LiveWhere the data is coming from
Canadian address data comes from Statistics Canada's National Address Register, an authoritative, georeferenced list of civic addresses across Canada, released under the Statistics Canada Open Licence. See Credits & Data Sources for the full attribution. Building on this properly, the same way we did with Australia's Geoscape data rather than shipping a rough approximation, is why the first tool here took real work rather than being a quick port of the US or UK ones.
Free tools run in your browser, and we don't store or log what you search. Looking up an address does fetch the data for that postal area from our own servers, but nothing about your search is kept.
Canadian address data, not a relabelled US, UK, or AU tool.
Same model as our US, UK, and AU sites - no premium tier, no limits.
