Common questions

How do I get walking directions?

Open the map, search for your destination or tap a location, then select the walking icon. Allow location access when your device asks so the map can show where you are.

Why is the map not showing my location?

Location permission is usually turned off. Check your device settings for the UH Go app or for your browser, then reload the map.

Can I use the map without the UH Go app?

Yes. The map works in any web browser at uh.edu/maps, where you can search places, browse the A to Z building list and turn on map layers. UH Go adds features like Cougar Trax shuttle tracking and your digital Cougar Card.

Does the map work indoors?

Walking routes end at the building entrance. Location accuracy drops indoors, so use posted building directories to find your room.

How do I find a building if I only know the abbreviation?

Type it into the Find a place search on the map, or open the A to Z building list to browse every building on campus.
