Hello GISuser... and welcome to our Tuesday Geotechnology news roundup. Well, yesterday was the date for Americans to get signed up under the affordable health care act and a flurry of activity was seen, as could have been expected. Apaprently there were almost 50 million Americans without insurance and CNN tackled that issue with a map. The map shows "the number of individuals who have selected a marketplace plan" in various states, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ( See More HERE). CNN wasn't the only publication using a map to convey as Forbes also published some data visualizations. Some cuonties also employed mapping technology to help people locate health care insurance providers, like Pima Arizona for example - a great idea really!
Moving forward, news from TomTom this week as the company rolls out a renewed strategy for their business solutions unit along with a new name - enter TomTom Telematics (details below); Orbit GT has released their iOS Mobile Mapping viewer 10.5 - the iOS PanoViewer App gives access to all types of mobile mapping data, based on a spherical camera system - See more here. Much more news is found below and on GISuser.com - have a great day all and enjoy this Spring Day!

USGS is working with partners to provide up-to-date Washington State Landslide info - USGS scientists are supporting state and county agencies responding to the event. It is a collaborative effort, with many working hard to provide assistance, assess the situation, and alleviate impacts as the hazard isn't over. For example, future rain conditions or snowmelt from nearby mountain tops could exacerbate the situation. Current research is focused on gathering more LiDAR imagery and aerial photographs to help with mapping the extent of the landslide.
