A few weeks ago, I visited Ann Arbor for the first time for the School of Information’s Admitted PhD student Visiting Days (I’m coming from UC San Diego!). The first thing I did was search up "umich map" to understand how big the campus was and where everything was laid out across North and Central campus... I didn't get too far. After visiting Ann Arbor, I fell in love with how peaceful, friendly, and yet somehow lively the town is, and I felt like the current map website didn't do the University of Michigan's beautiful campus justice, so I decided to make a version (I hope) students would actually find use in returning to! I asked some students what they'd find useful in a map, and took some inspiration from other campus apps I've seen to integrate just about any feature any student could want inside of a campus map website.
