This wiki contains information about the new, OpenStreetMap-based University Map. The information here is target 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. Some of these pages have yet to be populated.
