This is scertainlly possible. The two best things for a situation like this is creating a manual route, which basically are similar to electronic bread crums. With this you are creating waypoints, which are your bread crums, with each one you can give it a name, direction, and a description. The other thing that will be helpful in a situation as a campus is creating points of interest, which are your personal marking of a building, landmark, or something special about the area. Like others have said, you can submit the points of interest that you have created. So, between marking points of interest and using the "getting warmer" metthod to get to that destination and actually following a route that you have created, you can navigate a campus as you would the city.
