GauchoMap: A Convenient Chrome Extension for UCSB Students
GauchoMap is a Chrome extension designed specifically for UCSB students. This free add-on automatically locates your UCSB courses on an interactive map, making it a breeze to find your next class. With GauchoMap, the process of beginning your next quarter becomes streamlined and efficient.
One of the main features of GauchoMap is the addition of an "Open Map" button on the "My Class Schedule" page of UCSB GOLD. This button allows you to easily access the interactive map that pinpoints your UC Santa Barbara courses on a Google Map. You can also filter your courses by day of the week, making it even easier to navigate your class schedule.
GauchoMap also provides a quick link to the Geography Department's interactive map, allowing you to explore the campus and familiarize yourself with the different locations. Clicking on the pins on the map opens a detailed view of your classes, and the pin labels display the number of courses you have at a particular location.
It's worth noting that GauchoMap works not only with the current quarter but also with previous quarters, ensuring that you have access to all your course information.
While GauchoMap offers a convenient solution for locating your courses, there are a few known issues. Sometimes, if GauchoMap can't find your course, you may be asked to take a swim. The developer encourages users to provide feedback on which buildings produce errors, so they can be fixed. Additionally, courses in the info boxes on the map are not filtered by day of the week.
Overall, GauchoMap is a useful Chrome extension for UCSB students, providing an interactive map that simplifies the process of finding your classes on campus. It's a valuable tool for streamlining your academic experience at UC Santa Barbara.
