“San Francisco Supervisor Eric Mar commented, “The San Francisco Open Green Map is a wonderful environmental gift to the people of San Francisco. We hope to expand its use to more schools, community centers & neighborhoods. What a great example of how open source & GIS technology can be used to empower people and create a more sustainable world!”
“Owen Parker, who provided data processing and geocoding services for the San Francisco Open Green Map, said, "It's good to see mapping services used in this way--as a vehicle for expanding people's understanding of the world around them.”
"Students, particularly those in secondary education, are increasingly fluent with multiple sources of technology and expect to see information in a graphic form; they are early adopters of new technology and enthusiastic users of the type of opportunities offered by Open Green Map System."
