RooWay: A Web-Based Application for UA Campus Directions

With the increasing popularity of Google Maps, the integration of web services with Google Maps has recently attracted considerable attention. Using Google Maps JavaScript API v3, developers can build highly customizable maps with their own content and imagery. To enhance visit experiences on The University of Akron (UA) campus, we present RooWay -- a web-based application for UA campus in this paper. RooWay is built upon Google Maps API and DoubleMap - a service which shows real-time location for Roo shuttles on UA campus. The primary goal of RooWay is to assist visitors and students when they travel to UA campus. When visitors and students arrive on campus, they can use RooWay to navigate around campus. With RooWay, from the moment visitors leave their home, they are able to have an enjoyable journey to UA and a pleasant visit on UA campus.
