Help Create a Campus Map in Google Maps!

The campus community is invited to help create complete and accurate maps of the uWaterloo campuses and beyond!

Join Geospatial Centre staff for the University of Waterloo Google Map Maker Event running on November 7 & 8 in the SLC!

This event will consist of two days of map making, and a lot of fun! This is an opportunity for anyone interested in mapping to contribute and share about the places they know and love, all through maps. The Google MapUp is a place to collaborate and exchange ideas, while adding schools, businesses, points of interest, roads, trails, and other place related things to the map. Sign up on the registration form if you are interested, then come with your mapping hats on! The more the merrier!

Please join us for the 2012 University of Waterloo Map Maker Event, and make a permanent mark on Google Maps!  Brought to you by the Geospatial Centre at the Dana Porter Library and Google Map Maker Community Team.
