More About the Map: The Maine Food Map is an evolving
project. The beta version that is currently available has been
created with a very limited budget using free mapping software by
ZeeMaps. We have already received many suggestions about
functionality that people would like to see added to the map, but
at this time there is not funding to support a customized solution.
