The University map is changing from Tuesday 3 December 2024.
You can preview the new map at: https://new.map.cam.ac.uk
Please do go to the new map to try it out and to find the features that you would like to highlight using the map navigation and layers. Please share any feedback with the team at: maps@admin.cam.ac.uk or join one of our upcoming webinars (see below).
Once the new map goes live it will be available from the same website address (URL) as the current map: https://map.cam.ac.uk/
The map will have new features and improved navigation, as well as a revamped user interface on both desktop and mobile.
If your website has links to the current University map, or you embed custom views of the University map in your website you will need to update these to avoid broken links or maps that default to showing the Cambridge wide map with no customisation.
- To update this, go to https://map.cam.ac.uk/ (on or after 3 December) and use the navigation and layers to customise the map so that it shows the specific location and features you want to share on your website. Copy the URL from your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge etc.) and use this to update the links or embed code in your website CMS.
- Alternatively, you can update URLs to point to the old map, which will be moved to https://old.map.cam.ac.uk and will be available for a period of three months. This will give you time to create any custom links to the new map as necessary. The old map will be closed on 3 February 2025 so links and embedded maps on your website will need to be updated to the new map by this date.
- We would encourage you to wait until the new map goes live on 3 December to update any links and embedded maps on your website. If you do change them to the new map before then you will need to change the URLs from https://new.map.cam.ac.uk to https://map.cam.ac.uk URLs created for https://new.map.cam.ac.uk will also be maintained until 3 February 2025 so there will be a three month period after 3 December to modify links from https://new.map.cam.ac.uk to https://map.cam.ac.uk should you wish to update to the new map now.
We are holding two drop-in Teams webinars for anyone who would like to learn more about the changes to the map or ask questions about links or embedded maps.
