GIS based Hot Maps for Bahrain Grand Prix

Manama company ICON working with the Kingdom of Bahrain Survey and Land Registration Bureau, and Bahrain International Circuit officials released an interactive online map of the home of the Bahrain Grand Prix.

The result is a detailed and highly accurate cartographic hot map based on extensive on-site surveying at BIC in Sakhir by the Survey and Land Registration Bureau - Topographic Survey Directorate, and complimented with information from Bahrain International Circuit officials. Mapping is by Germany's Kartographie Huber, and online map technology company hot-maps produced the interactive version available on the Internet at www.hot-map.com/bahrain-grand-prix. A high-resolution aerial image of BIC, previously not available to the online public, goes with the map.

Bahrain International Circuit is the first motorsports venue worldwide to be depicted in the advanced mapping technology hot-maps.

The 2010 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix will be the first race of the 60th anniversary season of the FIA Formula One World Championship. BIC features a new track layout as it extends its existing 5.412km circuit to 6.299km. The new track extension now offers a challenging loop of corners and height changes reaching out into the Sakhir desert.
