Google Maps and College Campuses?

Did you ever try to find Shapiro Undergraduate Library using a Google Maps link?


It's close, but it's the bus stop, not the library. I know, GIS is not perfect but now Google is working on taking the pedestrian photo view of major college campuses so that potential students can take virtual tours before coming for a campus visit. Now instead of the Google street view car, taking street view pictures they will be using a panoramic camera mounted on a bike to take pictures of college campuses, according to HigherEdMorning .

Beware of what you're doing, out there on the diag! It might be caught by the Google bike!
