Main Page

This wiki contains information about the new, OpenStreetMap-based University Map. The information here is aimed at webmasters and developers who want to make use of the various facilities offered by the map service, or who want to contribute to the underlying OpenStreetMap data on which the map is based.

The map can be accessed at http://map.cam.ac.uk/. It is currently a Public Beta release - we expect to release it as a full service in time for the start of the 2012/13 academic year.
