Frequently asked questions
Does the map work offline?
The campus map and walking graph are stored on your device, so building locations and pathfinding work offline. Your GPS location needs device location services enabled.
How accurate are the walking directions?
Routes use real campus footpaths and roads from OpenStreetMap data. Walk time is estimated at average walking speed. The routes follow actual paths, not straight lines.
Can I find specific rooms inside buildings?
The map shows building locations with walking directions to the entrance. Room-level navigation inside buildings is not currently supported.
Does it cover areas outside campus?
The map focuses on the Royal Holloway campus and immediate surroundings. For destinations further than 5km from campus, it opens your device's maps app instead.
