Footnotes ...
| <1> | The elevation is an estimate for the area around Montreal - it will be higher in some places and lower in others. |
| <2> | When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 514 code has been Overlayed with one of the following codes: 263 or 438. New phone numbers in the Montreal area will be assigned with one of these codes: 514, 263 or 438. As a result, placing a call in the Montreal area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
| <3> | If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database. |
