Hi Folks.... Has anyone else been approached by Google Maps to allow them to "map your campus" in detail - presumably, for student navigation purposes?? Here's the "agreement" that they want us to sign off on. I have some basic concerns, but - then again - my concerns may be completely unfounded. So - I thought I'd offer this up to this group to see what your collective wisdom would respond with....(note the italicized entry).... Let me know what you all think....
