Digital Mapping Solutions
MAPIT is a supplier of digital mapping solutions including a wide variety of data types and sources. We partner with strategic partners in order to provide best of breed spatial solutions to a broad client base.
The data or solution will vary in accordance with the demands of the client and the market sector. Pricing modules are available on request.
Map Data
The data is supplied in a variety of formats ranging from Vector, FGDB (File Geo Data Base) or the different types of spatial relational DB formats like MS SQL through to PostgreSQL
The layers include, but are not limited to fully attributed road networks, Points of Interest (POI), Land Use, Topographical Information and a combination of Address Ranges and Address Points to aid search functionality
VECTOR MAP AFRICA COVERAGE
There is extensive coverage of South Africa as well as detailed coverage of the Southern Africa Region. The entire continent is covered at various levels of detail, but the underlying feature is that there is full road network coverage allowing a user to route, literally from “Cape to Cairo”. Details of the coverage per country or region is available on request.
Speed Profiles provides an average measured speed for each road element based on a two-year rolling inventory of historical travel time data.
Get access to a uniquely large and rich database of travel time data to analyse and influence intelligent business decisions.
SPEED PROFILES – data available for each map segment for each direction, covering all roads. Highly granularity of data giving information for each element every 5 minutes of the day and every day of the week.
TRAFFIC DATA
LIVE TRAFFIC
Real-time traffic insights offer an accurate and detailed view of average speeds and incidents on the road.
Our traffic insights offer highly granular speed and bottleneck traffic data to help drivers arrive quicker, safer and on time to their destination.
Live Traffic gives your business the ability to:
– ENABLE local road authorities, highway agencies and traffic management centres to monitor traffic effectively.
– INTEGRATE real-time traffic into your application for improved route calculations and accurate ETAs.
– EFFICIENTLY manage your workforce with route optimization within mobile workforce apps.
– ASSIST fleet managers with routing drivers around traffic incidents, helping to reduce time and fuel cost and increase customer satisfaction
HISTORIC TRAFFIC
Offering an historical traffic database with trillions of data points and over 11 billion new records added every day.
If you want to query traffic data based on travel time, average speed and probe counts on certain elements of a road or area on a certain time of day or year, historic traffic data is essential.
Historic traffic gives your business the ability to:
– MEASURE infrastructure improvements by analysing pre and post traffic data on a route
– INTEGRATE traffic data with business intelligence applications for improved insights.
Historic Traffic data consists of:
– CUSTOM AREAS – a detailed set of information to support bottleneck analysis, performance measurement, traffic modelling and site location studies
– PROBE COUNTS – a proxy to the total number of vehicles on a road, allowing you to an overview of the relative density of cars and the distribution between location and time
– CUSTOM TRAVEL TIMES – analyse specific roads or routes comparing passenger vehicles and/or commercial vehicles.
ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
It is made up of the following data sets:
DWELLING POINT DATA (HOUSEHOLD POINTS)
Various methodologies are applied to determine the disposable income range of each dwelling by using property values. The data analysts then count and classify each roof top and apply various methodologies to determine the property value and the disposable income of that household.
This demographic dataset employs the latest available aerial photography and property research, as well as GPS fieldwork, to ensure the most up-to-date information available.
Each point in this dataset represents a household or dwelling. The dataset carries income ranges associated with nett monthly household disposable income.
It covers most of South Africa and more than 150 other Sub-Saharan African destinations.
INCOME CLASSIFICATIONS
| Class | Group | Income |
| HIGH | A++ | >R100 000 |
| A+ | R50 000 - R99 999 | |
| A | R30 000 - R49 000 | |
| MIDDLE | B | >R18 000 |
| C | R11 000 - R17 000 | |

| D low | R1 200 - R3 499 | |
| D Zero | <R1 199 |
INFORMAL AND RURAL AREAS
Informal settlements are covered and updated. Reclassification is common as informal dwellings are slowly developed into more formal dwellings
Rural areas are covered where there is sign of growth and economic importance. Consultants in the field and doing studies indicate these areas
Where there is no coverage of dwelling points, aggregated dwelling points based off projected census data is used
NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN METROPOLITAN AREAS
Change detection in the imagery is used to detect new growth and development
The new developments dataset indicates new developments which are monitored, and updates follow the construction projects
In-house analysts give feedback after site visits for consulting work. This consulting work is based primarily around retail, shopping centre, mixed-use, medical and educational development
BUSINESS DATA
The Business Data layer is created from an online business directory and supplemented with various additional resources.

Each entry requires the following information:
- Business Name
- Suburb
- Town
Other mandatory fields:

ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL DATASETS
CADASTRE – CD: NGI
MAPIT makes use of the cadastre which it has licensed from the CD:NGI (National Directorate of Spatial Information) as a backdrop to its spatial data.
MAP ENGINE
CLOUD HOSTED MAPPING DATA SERVICES
The MAP ENGINE is a mapping data Software as a Service – (SaaS) solution which is cloud hosted and able to service multiple clients concurrently.
API FUNCTIONALITY
- Map tiles for display and visualisation
- Search box for places, address, POI’s
