We are so pleased to introduce an exciting mobile version of our acclaimed Open Green Map that invites you to interact with the world from a unique perspective that is ideal for any internet-enabled phone! Today, we are also debuting the first Green Map iPhone App. In keeping with Green Map System's mission of inclusive participation, this dual launch has the potential to serve a diverse audience at no cost.
