The Canada Base Map - Transportation (CBMT) web mapping services of the Earth Sciences Sector at Natural Resources Canada, are intended primarily for online mapping application users and developers. These services are available in multiple formats and projections including: WMS, WMTS, ESRI REST, SOAP, Lambert Conformal Conic (ESPG:3978), Web Mercator (EPSG:3857), etc.These services can be accessed at no cost and without restrictions according to the terms of the license at https://geogratis.cgdi.gc.ca/geogratis/en/licence.jsp.This collection of base map services have been created to provide locational context with an emphasis on transportation networks over which thematic information can be overlaid. Cartography (colour, symbology, etc.) of the base map has been specifically designed so that thematic information will be more prominent than the locational information. The range of viewing scales for this service is between 1:200,000,000 and 1:1,000. Features from the following datasets are used by the CBMT service: CanVec, GeoBase, the National Topographic Data Base (NTDB) and base data from the Atlas of Canada National Scale datasets.

The Canada Transportation Base Map (CBMT) web map service of the Earth Sciences Sector at Natural Resources Canada, is an Internet service which is intended primarily for online map application users and developers. This service is compatible with OpenGIS® Consortium (OGC) (http://www.opengeospatial.org/) Web Map Service (WMS) standards and specifications, version 1.1.1. This base map service has been created to provide locational context with an emphasis on transportation networks over which thematic information can be overlaid. Cartography (colour, symbology, etc.) of the base map has been specifically designed so that thematic information will be more prominent than the locational context information. The range of viewing scales for this service is between 1:60,000,000 and 1:10,000. Features from the following data sets are used by the CBMT service: CanVec, GeoBase, the National Topographic Data Base and base data from the Atlas of Canada National Scale datasets.

The dataset offers Canadian coverge based on the VMAP0 data product which is a global digital dataset produced and maintained by the United States National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA http://www.nima.mil) at a nominal scale of 1:1 000 000. The Atlas of Canada, in wanting to choose an international global digital map base, has adapted the VMAP0 for use as a base from which other, smaller map scales can be created and to which thematic layers can be added.

  The VMAP0 data was first released as the DCW (Digital Chart of the World) dataset. The DCW has been widely used and has proved to be very useful because it was the first global multitheme dataset at such a scale in the public domain. Despite its success, the DCW dataset is widely known to have had some deficiencies. The revision 4 data for North America was much better in quality, but still must be improved before it would be suitable for use by the Atlas of Canada.

This cartographic digital product is derived from the Atlas of Canada's wall map "The World" (MCR 0046) and "Le monde" (MCR 0046F) published in 2021. The World is a general reference political map focused on the names and international boundaries of sovereign and non-sovereign countries. The information is portrayed using the Winkel II projection at a scale of 1:29 000 000. The dataset includes international boundaries, populated places, and labelled major hydrographic and physical features. In the geodatabase the representation of political boundaries do not necessarily reflect the position of the Government of Canada on all international issues of recognition, sovereignty or jurisdiction; some of the populated places have seasonal populations, while others are research or military bases with no permanent populations; and, there are no attribute information in the geodatabase for the labelled hydrographic and physical features.

Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Reference Map Series, 1961 to 2010, is the latest version of a regularly-updated map of the National Atlas of Canada Base Map Series. Each version shows the World at an equatorial scale of 1: 35 000 000. The map is a general reference sheet focusing on showing the name and status of all sovereign countries and dependencies, and showing major cities. The 2005 version has two new additions: one is showing shaded relief for land areas; the other is showing bathymetric contours and colours for all marine areas.

Many geometrical schemes - or map projections - are used to represent the curved surface of the Earth on map sheets. Canada uses the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system. It is called transverse because the strips run north-south rather than east-west along the equator. This data class shows a 10 km x 10 km coordinate system based on the UTM projection using the North American Datum 83 (NAD83) grid. It includes: * Military Grid Reference- identifies a specific military grid reference system grid cell * Fire Base Map identifier- five digit identifier used by MNR's Aviation and Forest Fire Management Program to identify a fire basemap * Atlas identifier - identifies a specific grid cell * UTM Map Sheet Number - ID number of a UTM mapsheet This product requires the use of GIS software.
