myRutgers UXP (new beta) – Maps | How to use the actionable icons (web and mobile)

The Maps page allows you to view Rutgers campuses and the bus routes that are available. There are 3 key areas to Maps: the top nav bar, the map actionable icons, and the map. This part will cover the map actionable icons. 

Web

In the top left, there are 3 icons.
