Lab 3 Grand Tetons Trip

Neogeography can be beneficial because it allows a broad range of individuals to contribute to mapping especially in areas that they are interested in. Google earth supports public contributions such as 3 demential designed buildings, and customized rout and activities maps because it would be impossible for google to create all of that information on there own. One of the greatest successes and pitfalls of Neogeography is that it gives everyone the tools to create a map based on their own sources of information.
Unfortunately, Neogeography also allows individuals to create maps that are constructed in a way so that they focus on a few individual ideas and actions that the map maker is interested in but may unintentional end up skewing the general content of the map. With the internet constantly expanding and more and more people creating these personalized maps, the flood of the market leads to lots of quickly created, construed and unintentionally biased maps. All of this makes it difficult to access unaltered supposedly unbiased information from these maps.
