Fun Fact Friday with MapTown!
Did you know?

Canada has the longest coastline in the world!

Stretching over 243,000 kilometres (151,000 miles), Canada’s coastline touches three oceans:
Atlantic Ocean
Arctic Ocean
Pacific Ocean

To put that into perspective, you could drive around the Earth more than 6 times and still not cover the same distance!

From rugged East Coast fishing villages and Arctic tundra to the stunning beaches and mountains of the West Coast, Canada offers some of the most diverse and spectacular landscapes on the planet.

Whether you’re planning a road trip, a boating adventure, a hiking expedition, or simply dreaming about your next destination, a good map is the perfect place to start.

Long before GPS, cell phones, and even paper maps, ancient travelers navigated the world by looking to the night sky.
Sailors, explorers, and traders used the stars and constellations as their guide across oceans, deserts, and unfamiliar lands. One of the most famous navigation stars is Polaris — also known as the North Star — because it helped travelers find true north for centuries.
Constellations like the Big Dipper were more than just beautiful patterns in the sky… they were essential survival tools used to navigate the world.
Even today, learning basic navigation skills and understanding your surroundings remains an important outdoor and travel skill — especially when technology fails or there’s no signal.
At MapTown, we love the history of navigation and exploration — from ancient star navigation to modern topographic maps and nautical charts.
Wherever your next adventure takes you, be prepared and know your route.

Long weekends are part of what makes summers in Canada so memorable.

Whether you’re heading to the mountains, the lake, camping, boating, road tripping, or visiting family for Father’s Day in June — preparation matters.

Before you leave:
Check your routes
Pack your outdoor essentials
Be prepared for areas with poor cell service
Carry reliable paper maps & charts as backup
Plan adventures the whole family can enjoy

Father’s Day is also the perfect time to gift experiences, adventures, and memories — not just “stuff.” A travel map, topographic map, wall map, or nautical chart can inspire the next road trip, fishing trip, hiking adventure, or family getaway.

At MapTown, we help Canadians prepare for:
• Road trips & travel
• Camping & hiking
• Boating & fishing
• Cottage weekends
• Adventure planning
• Custom maps & GIS projects

Because sometimes the best summer memories begin with unfolding a map.
