Hi! I'm a commuter student who knows how difficut it can be to find a convenient microwave on campus, especially on days where time is short. I made this map to help you locate the nearest public microwave. Plus, anyone can contribute to the dataset so the information should stay accurate and up-to-date.
How to add microwaves to the map?
- Open the spreadsheet using the link above.
- If you want to add a new microwave to the map or edit an existing point, simply make a comment with your changes in 'Sheet1', so spreadsheet moderators can accept the update.
What can you add?
- To add a point you must provide map coordinates, which can be found here: latlong.net or by clicking on a location using a site like Google Maps.
- Please try to add other information like:
- Number of microwaves at the location
- Building name of the location
- Description of how to get to the microwave
- Any relevant notes
- Building hours
- The date of your update (so future viewers can guage the information accuracy)
- Microwaves must be PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE. No staff room/ residence floor/ private club room locations please!
