Features

Smartphones which displays a navigation with UniMaps.

Route Planning

UniMaps offers room-to-room navigation within the different University buildings as well as the outdoor areas between them. It is possible to avoid various barriers on the route, such as stairs, by adjusting individual settings. This makes accessible navigation possible, as does the possibility of reporting accessibility problems such as defective lifts directly from the app to the building management.

Smartphone which shows the person search with UniMaps.

Room and person search

UniMaps offers a person and room search. When entering data, matching persons and rooms are automatically suggested. When a person is found, the person's office is automatically added. This allows you to navigate directly to the person or find out where the office is located.
