Liz Mannette puts pan on the (Google) map

Trinidad and Tobago Guardian

Liz MannetteTrinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Elizabeth “Liz” Mannette was tired of getting lost. Setting out to visit a new panyard was always a wearisome adventure because she would often have to turn back when she could not readily find the location.

....It often involved walking in circles around the Queen’s Park Savannah during semis or finals attempting to find the band’s location before the big stage performance. In her search for a solution, Mannette realised she was not alone.

....For Panorama 2017, Mannette was encouraged to launch a mobile app to put steelbands and panyards on the digital map.

The new PanCrawl digital app aims to show the exact location of all T&T panyards on Google Maps.

      • Terrence,

        The problem I have with all this is the lack of foresight. Such a surprise for a so called entrepreneur.

        If you're going to go to press with something like this, then be ready for the inevitable world-wide interest it will create.
