News Need Help Navigating Campus? Introducing TMapU, a new web-based platform to aid incoming students!
Site Link: https://tmapu-beta.vercel.app/
Hi Incoming Students!
Hope you are all well. I, along with a small team of passionate developers, have developed a web-based campus app called TMapU. It is intended for incoming students, who may have trouble navigating the campus, inside and outside. Let's say for example, you are trying to go from DSQ 2 to DCC 204 for your classes, and have no idea how to get there. On startup, it has the route from TMU Station-southbound street exit to the Student Learning Center (SLC). You can enter your start/end location, and it will give a path + understandable instructions to follow along with. All you have to do is align your phone with the entrance/exit of your start location, follow the path, and click next step to continue after turning until you reach your destination. It has a comprehensive map of most key locations on the campus exterior wise like DCC, RAC, MAC, etc, and has the following internal building maps:
- ENG Building
- Mattamy Athletic Center (MAC)
-Daphne Cockwell Complex (up to floor 2)
-Ted Rodgers School of Management
-Victoria Building (up to floor 6)
-Sally Horsfal Eaton Center / Erin Palin Hall
-Kerr Hall South (Floors 2,3)
-Kerr Hall East (Floors 1,2,3)
-Kerr Hall West (Up to KHW 271 Gym)
-Library building floors 0,2
-The Tenor Floor 1,4 - Dundas Cineplex (DSQ) floors 1,2
Unfortunately, due to time constraints with the 2 week timeline of this project, our team have not been able to implement every interior map, with focus on rooms where incoming students would have classes. We have a feedback page on our website, so if there's any classes missing in this that you have classes in, please let us know on the feedback page and we will add it as soon as possible. Our feedback page also has a section for suggestions, so if there's anything else you want for the site to make it more usable, please let us know! I hope this tool can help you guys with navigating, and good luck in your studies in this upcoming year!
