        Neogeography increases geographic awareness and spatial thinking. It is highly user centric that allows the ability to create a unique and personalized map. The map is created according to the individual's imagination and creativity. The creator combines elements of an existing toolset such as Google Maps. By creating a detailed map, it is possible to share location information with friends and visitors. It is also efficient in helping shape context and improve the level of knowledge and understanding of a place. Nonetheless, it questions authority since it is purely personalized and self made. Sometimes, there exists errors that fails to correspond to the purpose of the map. These mistakes must be corrected in order to provide proper readability.
        Creating an informative and purposeful mashup of a dynamic map can create consequences that lead to disaster. One small mistake can alter directions to incorrect destinations. Precisely indicating the right points and routes is crucial in obtaining a well finished product. Substantive content must be revised and thoroughly examined before having viewers follow it for guidance and direction. The last thing that is intended is for the viewer to become confused and lost. This can cause significant trouble for the traveler. Connecting the lines for routes seemed to be a problem for Windows since a spot can not be held while moving the screen up or down to a different spot. Only Macbook allows such capabilities. Otherwise, there would be a problem with having too many spots with all of them containing the same exact information. Multimedias must be posted properly with relevant instructions. Wrongly posted multimedia will drive people astray and make them wonder if they are at the right place. The map is supposed to convey clear thought and easy reading. It should be accurate and simple to read. It should look fun and less eye straining. It should have content appropriate for all ages.
