Frequently Asked Questions

Do interactive campus maps help with student recruiting?

Absolutely. Interactive campus maps offer educational institutions a dynamic way to showcase their campus. These maps allow prospective students to virtually tour various facilities and amenities, providing them with an immersive glimpse into campus life directly from their phones or computers. This engaging experience can be a significant factor in attracting new students.

How does a campus map benefit students and academic staff members?

Interactive campus maps serve as a practical and essential guide for students, staff, and visitors. These maps are accessible on mobile devices, allowing users to quickly locate their current location on the campus  and find the best routes to various destinations across the campus.

What is campus mapping software used for besides virtual tours?

While recruitment tours are the most visible use case, the same campus map works as a year-round tool for current students, staff, and visitors. Schools use it for everyday wayfinding, so people can find their way between buildings without stopping to ask. During orientation week, homecoming, or commencement, the same map supports event-day navigation and helps first-time visitors get oriented on campus. Because it’s built on the same categories, filters, and walking directions used for the virtual tour, there’s no separate tool to build or maintain. One map, updated once, serves recruiting and daily campus life alike.

Absolutely! Our map software is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, requiring no prior experience in map creation or coding. This makes it accessible for anyone to create an impressive campus map with ease. Additionally, we offer robust support through our Customer Success Team.

What types of map styles can be used for interactive campus maps?

You can utilize any map styles available on the Mapme platform. These styles include standard options like streets or satellite imagery.
