Nokia Green Explorer updated

Guest Writer: Leena Oiva, Green Explorer team

We are happy to tell you that the new release of Nokia Green Explorer service has been published today. Here some details on the changes to the previous version.

Green Explorer now has a new Ovi look and feel and you can use your Ovi account to access the service. This is a real improvement since we were having difficulties with the registration emails. The URL has also changed to Ovi.com instead of Nokia.com. There is a new category called Get Inspired in the web service, where you can find inspiring articles from eco-minded bloggers on sustainable lifestyle and green places & events. You can give your comments on all articles, unfortunately not yet with your Ovi account but simply with your email address. We are working on getting this new area also under the same registration and regret for the inconvenience. Also, we are now using Ovi Maps so that you can see the destination you are interested in on a map. This is currently only available on the web. We are working on getting more Maps experience into the mobi site as well as converting the Get Inspired into mobile as soon as possible.

On top of the technical changes we are also changing the angle of the content provided so the service will help people green their every-day life and not just when travelling. A couple of new partners have been published, and we are especially proud of our new partnership with UNESCO World Heritage Center which allows us to show their sites around the world in our service. More new content partners are going live in the near future, so stay tuned and start creating tips and comments in Green Explorer! (Green Explorer in Beta Labs)
