CLICK HERE TO GO RIGHT TO THE PEDESTRIAN MAP

• It's simple! To find the shortest pedestrian route between points, just right-click anywhere on the map to set your start and end points. The shortest route that is closest to your selected points will appear automatically. ...
  
• ... OR you can set your end points to be specific campus venues (such as buildings or other, well known locations) by selecting those venues in one or both of the boxes in the START/END LOCATIONS menu. (You can select other routing options in the box below too.)
• Click on any campus building or landmark to get quick popup with information about it.
• Check out the menu of options if you right click any point! If you select "Get URL" then you will see a pop-up with a link that you can copy and paste into email (send to friends to show where you'll meet them) or share with any web tool. Clicking on it again in the future brings you back to the map right at that point. Do the same to select coordinates, in case you want to feed that to a GPS or other navigation tool!
• Click the "Search" tab in order to find specific buildings or landmarks by name. Just start typing, we'll try to find good matches. Once you see the name you want, click it and you're on your way.
• You can easily reposition the map by "clicking and dragging". Use the controls in the upper left corner to zoom in or out of the map display. (Greater magnification will provide you with more details about buildings and routes, data that would make the map look cluttered if we tried to fit it all in on one grand page.)
• Click on the "Map Layers" tab and you'll see possible overlays of information that can be enabled. Just click the entry you want and it will appear on the map too. This is used for showing the location of special events or activities on campus. Only a few are there now, but shortly you'll be able to login with your campus directory ID and add your own layer and information!

• This prototype pedestrian map system is a joint venture between two groups of students. A team of Gemstone students called FASTR (Finding Alternative Specialized Travel Routes) designed and commissioned the construction of this map as part of their research project. FASTR then turned to Software Engineering at Maryland (SEAM), another student group. Run by the Computer Science Department, SEAM is a "software co-op" that pairs student teams from upper level software engineering classes with partners in industry or government.
