After listening to fan feedback, Bristol Motor Speedway has partnered with Mappedin to create a special navigation tool for the upcoming Food City 500 weekend, April 10-12.
Exploring the grounds of Bristol Motor Speedway will be easier than ever with the GPS Navigator digital tool.
The GPS Navigator for Bristol Motor Speedway will allow fans to view a digital map of the BMS property on their digital device that will provide them with walking directions to specific destinations on the campus like ticket booths, specific attractions within the BMS Fan Zone, the Food City Fan Zone Stage presented by Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, the Speedway World Souvenir Shop, specific concession stands through the concourses, the T3 Vodka 360 Bar, and all of the BMS Courtesy Shuttle pickup and drop-off locations.
Guests can also perform searches to get the exact GPS directions from their parking spot or their campsite that will lead them directly to their seats in the stadium. Fans also will be able to easily locate the nearest restrooms, concessions and souvenir stands.
“Our guests gave us some tremendous feedback about navigating their way around our property and we worked with our partners at Mappedin to develop this GPS tool that will assist in that area,” said Drew Bedard, vice president of marketing, Bristol Motor Speedway. “This program is designed so our guests can pull it up on their digital devices and have a real-time map on the display to help them see the directions to their next location. We want our fans to focus on the fun while they are here with us, not directions.”
When you use this tool on your digital device at the event, turn on your location services and it will show an icon depicting your exact location on the map and will move as you move across the property.
Accessing the BMS Navigator digital tool is easy. It is located on the front page of the BMS app, or on the BMS website under the Fans heading at GPS Navigator. Please click this link to go directly to the GPS Navigator.
