Hi, It is difficult, but possible. Both me and Christoph have tried to map bits of the campus.
I found that I had to do it in a half traditional - half technical manner. The attached picture explains it better. Each X is a waypoint, taken a distance away from the building in an area you get better GPS accuracy. And the black box is a building. You sight along a wall of a building until you are exactly level with it, take a waypoint and then go to the other side. In JOSM you can then join the way points, and get a box. Brian has another way of doing, by using a compass, but I haven't got a compass, and I'm not sure of the accuracy/distances involved. Good luck with Birmingham University, I may have a crack at it too in the next few weeks. Ciarán
