Update to MIT campus map reflects community feedback

In September 2009, IS&T and the Department of Facilities launched a new MIT Campus Map based on the Google Maps engine. Now the MIT Campus Map Team has released an update that incorporates community feedback since the launch. This update includes a refined user interface and addresses several commonly asked questions in the Campus Map FAQ.

Some examples of refinements include:

• Thumbnail images have been built into info balloons.
  Example: http://whereis.mit.edu/go/10
   
• The search results pane now slides out, so instructions are always visible.
  Example: http://whereis.mit.edu/?q=cafe+lobby+7
   
• Clicking on the map creates custom purple markers, which are listed in the results pane as well.
  Example: http://whereis.mit.edu/?q=cafe+lobby+7&go=5 

The MIT Campus Map Team invites you to explore the updated map and send them email if you have feedback or questions.
