The ‘smarter city’ is all the rage, and while a buzzing megapolis may have the complexity and resources to deploy a mayoral ‘geek squad’ or install flocks of sensors, the average town has to fulfill its duties on a much tighter budget.
We’re all about tools that bring location intelligence to everyone, which is why a new product from our partner AppGeo has us excited. They just launched the next generation of MapGeo, a data management and visualization platform for local governments. They’ve rebuilt it from scratch using CartoDB, and, if we may say so, MapGeo 2.0 is fantastic.
If you’re interested learning more about what MapGeo can offer your town or city, we hope you’ll join our October 8 webinar.

FME, a product of CartoDB partner Safe Software, is the most flexible glue around for connecting two applications via their spatial data. And FME now supports CartoDB. Supporting more than 325 file formats, FME is a real workhorse. In fact, FME is so versatile, we think it could be a handy way to prep for the Yellowstone Supervolcano. You know, just in case.

The open data movement is sweeping the globe like winter storm Juno has swept the Northeast. Yet when individual cities want to make their data available online, they don’t want to end up with a data portal that’s too unique a snowflake — and thus too hard to use and maintain.
