Mobile Launch!

Joining the mobile revolution this week, Green Map System is pleased to announce two new sustainable living resources for people on the move:

• a mobile website designed for all internet-enabled cell phones
• the first Green Map iPhone App!

Ideal for locals and tourists alike, both feature the beta version of "What's Green Nearby?â„¢" a handy tool for connecting with green resources on the go. Drawing from over 8,800 sites contributed to the interactive Open Green Map sustainability mapping platform by local Green Map teams, this beta version delights users as it guides them to farmers markets, green buildings, gardens and heritage sites that help everyone make greener, healthier, low-impact choices.

Version 1.0 of the Green Map iPhone App includes 10 additional sections, delivering an insightful view into the impacts of this global movement through its Green Maps, videos, photos, Twitter, blog and much more.

Both mobile tools are free and ready for you now!

• Simply type GreenMap.org into any phone's internet browser for the mobile website.
• Click GreenMap.org/app for the App, or search Green Map in the Apple Store.

Click GreenMap.org/press for more images and background. Or download the Press Release.

First Day Reviews include Treehugger.com, Download Squad, The Daily Green, Turning Green and Too Lazy To Do It.

UPDATE: More than 5,000 iPhone Apps were downloaded in the first 2 weeks. There are now over 10,000 sites to find nearby. And we have added a new feature - Find Sites by the Icon - try it on the App and see! We're now adding to the desktop platform, which is also experiencing a steady increase in traffic.

We are delighted to share this new way of exploring our 15 years of work connecting community and sustainability resources together. Our design team, including Té Baybute and Akiko Rokube utilized AppMakr.com to develop the iPhone app in less than a month, and members of our Board, Thomas Turnbull and Stan Wiechers, pitched in to create the mobile website. With the help of sponsoring companies, foundations and individual donors, we'll be building richer versions and continually improving exploration and interaction, contributing much to community well-being and the future we all share.

The Mobile Website works on all kinds of phones

We're looking forward to creating others, but for now, we invite you to try GreenMap.org in your phone. This beta mobile website is basic, but works with all phones with internet access. We made it first, to serve the broadest audience.

Hey guys - well done! This is great.

I've just downloaded it and can see right away that it'll be massively useful. I know what it takes to get an App conceived, specified, developed and then approved by Apple, and think you've done a great job.

We have a sustainability module in the pipeline too - I"ll make sure to add a link to the Green Map app from our site!
Can't wait to see how it develops over time.

This is great! I've been enjoying Green Maps since first hearing about it in late 2009, but my phone doesn't automatically redirect me to the mobile site due to it's software. Is there anyway I could get the mobile URL?
