Summary
CartoDB has agreed with the General Services Administration (GSA) on "federal-friendly" Terms of Use for US Federal Government users, allowing agencies to use CartoDB without individual arrangements. This simplifies mapping activities that rely on location-based data across various federal government levels and departments. The new terms enable faster account creation and mapping by federal staff, including those at the National Park Service and New York City government.
