project overview

On my drive back to campus in January 2009 from winter break I noticed that it seems everyone has a GPS unit in their car. This observation sparked an idea; to create a comprehensive map of college union facilities in a format that is able to be read by the quickly-adopted technology. Please help me by adding information about the facilities that you are familier with.

Files will be availible to download and use with your GPS device or mapping software once a significant number of facilities are input. The files will be updated periodically as more information is collected. Happy exploring!
