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).
