An NTS index ".kmz" file is available on the CanMatrix FTP site.
When opened in Google Earth, the file shows the entire NTS grid overlaid on Canada and can zoom down to the individual 1:50000 map sheet level.

Calculators
Online Latitude / Longitude Coordinate converters (DMS <-> DM.M <-> D.D)
http://www.earthpoint.us/Convert.aspx (also calculates UTM convergence angle; to 0.1° only)

Online calculators to convert UTM to Lat/Long and vice versa
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS/utm.shtml (also calculates UTM convergence angle)

Geographic Magnetic Calculator (Windows GUI utility), this will to convert UTM <-> Lat/Long, determine the UTM convergence angle and calculate magnetic declination but doesn’t provide the annual change
