Community Health Maps has long recommended the use of CartoDB <http://communityhealthmaps.nlm.nih.gov/2015/04/21/using-cartodb-for-beautiful-online-maps/> for those interested in low cost online mapping and data visualization. In fact, CHM caught the beginning of this wave because CartoDB wasn't even launched until 2012!

Original CartoDB logo

Early last month (July 2016) CartoDB was rebranded as Carto, which includes a new logo. However, once you get beyond the new logo your current account page including your data and maps remains unchanged.  You can still build maps the way you always have in what is now known as Carto Editor.

New Carto logo

The main difference is that Carto now offers up a new tool named Carto Builder<https://carto.com/blog/welcome-to-carto-builder/>. The good news for Community Health Mappers is that their goal with Carto Bulder is to introduce a new powerful tool that does not require complex geospatial skills and programming.  With Carto Builder they aim to make Location Intelligence (LI) more accessible to more people.  This means it will give you point and click access to deeper analysis of your data. You can request access to Carto Builder here: http://go.carto.com/request-beta-access <http://go.carto.com/request-beta-access> . Eventually Carto Editor may eventually be phased out. Stay tuned for more details.
