Rice Maps is an interactive mapping service designed to help new and current students locate Rice University buses, buildings, and classes.

Current features:

-Color coded shuttles are mapped and updated in real time

-Autocomplete makes searching for places easy

-Users can search buildings using building codes (e.g. "SEW" will show Sewall Hall on the map)

-Users can find locations of classes using course number or professor (e.g. "CHEM 121 Tran" will bring up a building on the map)

-Users can click on buildings or other locations to see their names

-Over 125 unique locations, with more to be added in the future.

Rice Maps was originally developed during the 2014 HackRice Hackathon competition by four Rice students: Daniel Williams (PHYS '17), Ethan Frederic (COMP '17), Nathan Bucki (MECH '17), and Sujay Tadwalkar (ELEC '17). At the competition the app won the "Makes Life Easy Award." Rice Maps is still being improved upon by the creators, and is becoming a widely used application in the Rice community.
