Canada Base Map Transportation (CBMT) - Open Government Portal

Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) - Raster Tile Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) - Raster Tile The Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) is a raster tile service that provides spatial reference context with an emphasis on transportation networks across Canada. It is designed especially for use as a background layer in a web mapping application or geographic information system (GIS). Access: Access is free of charge under the terms of the Open Government Licence - Canada. Data Sources: Data for the CBMT is sourced from the following datasets: - Topographic data of Canada – CanVec Series - Official names from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGNDB). Projections: - Data is provided in the EPSG:3978 (NAD83 Canada Atlas Lambert) projected coordinate system. - Data is provided in the EPSG:3857 (WGS84 Pseudo-Mercator) projected coordinate system. Geographic Coverage: - The CBMT in the EPSG:3857 has complete coverage of the world, with full datasets in Canada and only partial data in other parts of the world including boundaries, Country Names, and major cities. - The CBMT in the EPSG:3978 covers the entire geographic area of Canada and some major transportation routes and cities in the northern States of the USA. Additional Versions: - The CBMT is available as a dynamic service (WMS) or a tiled service (ESRI REST and WMTS). - A geometry-only version (CBMT GEOM) and a text-only version (CBMT TXT) are available. - French versions of the basemap are accessible via the Carte de base du Canada - Transport (CBCT). 2025-06-10 Natural Resources Canada [email protected] Form DescriptorsGovernment and PoliticsNature and EnvironmentTransportCanadaLocation mapBasemapBuildingsMapsForestsRoad mapsNational parksDrainageParksDigital elevation dataFerriesRail transportCemeteriesBridgesGeomaticsGeographical mapsTransport Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3978)WMTS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBMT3978/MapServer/WMTS/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3857) Text-OnlyESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBCT_TXT_3857/MapServer Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3978) Text-OnlyESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBCT_TXT_3978/MapServer Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3857) Geometry-OnlyESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBMT_CBCT_GEOM_3857/MapServer Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3978) Geometry-OnlyESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBMT_CBCT_GEOM_3978/MapServer Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3978) Text-OnlyESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBMT_TXT_3978/MapServer Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3857) Text-OnlyESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBMT_TXT_3857/MapServer CBMT LegendPDF https://ftp.maps.canada.ca/pub/cbmt/CBMT_legend.pdf Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3978)WMTS https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBCT3978/MapServer/WMTS/1.0.0/WMTSCapabilities.xml Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3978)ESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBMT3978/MapServer Canada Basemap Transportation (CBMT) (EPSG:3978)ESRI REST https://maps-cartes.services.geo.ca/server2_serveur2/rest/services/BaseMaps/CBCT3978/MapServer Canada Basemap Transportation (Group layer)WMS https://maps.geogratis.gc.ca/wms/CBMT?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities&layers=CBMT&legend_format=image/png Canada Basemap Transportation (Group layer)WMS https://cartes.geogratis.gc.ca/wms/CBCT?service=wms&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities&layers=CBCT&legend_format=image/png
