An aerial map of Kish Island, South Iran, for the Kish Free Zone Organization

The UI is not a catch, but it's a work in progress. I hope it'll be better in a few iterations.

My only feedback is that left-right swipe on Mac OS X zooms rather than going back/forward.

Very neat! When I clicked around, it looks like a few of the places categories come back with all the places as "undefined". I got this for bakeries and food markets.

Thank you for the feedback.

That's partly because the original info is in Persian and translation is in progress.

Can you give us some background on that? What is this island? Isn't it on Google Map?

The website works great, but I am curious!

What is the idea behind the Kish free zone? Is the idea to experiment with alternative economic models like you sometimes see in china for specified regions? Same government, alternative laws?
