Lab Assignment #3: Neogeography

View Neogeography-Seattle Bridges in a larger map

There are many advantages and disadvantages of Neogeography. When completing an assignment such as this, it is convenient to use a free program such as My Google Maps and it is generally simple for those who have little or no experience in Neogeography. With this type of access, it allows people to be creative and to an extent without having to know much about the technology. Neogeography is now a way for the public to be able to share information that otherwise would be more difficult through free digital mapping. With the information on the internet today, almost anything is possible with Neogeography.

Although the internet broadens creativity and Neogeography helpd public access, one of the dangers is the lack of privacy that goes with this simple access. Online mapping sources also have their constraints; because they are so simple, there can be limits to what you are able to do and technical problems that the general public aren't educated in to be able to solve. Like anything, there are advantages and pitfalls but hopefully with time and with technology always advancing, the advantages will weigh out the disadvantages and all forms of GIS will be available to all.
