The interactive map can be viewed on http://947.mapit.co.za and contains the route, refreshment points, street view, profile, twitter feeds, points of interest as well as road closures which will enable race participants to plan their movements and meeting points for the day.
The race marshals, organisers and safety crew will also plan their operations based on this mapping technology. "We are pleased to be backing this race for the fifth year running. It is without a doubt one of Johannesburg's major sporting events and mapIT is proud to be able to provide a service which supports both the public and the organisers as they navigate through and around the route on the day," said mapIT's marketing manager, Carey Dodd.
Dodd added that the interactive map also acts as a great tool for the rest of Johannesburg's citizens. Those who are not involved in the race will be able to find their way without being affected by the event and navigate around the road closures, hassle free.
