Neogeography also means "new geography". "It is commonly applied to the usage of geographical techniques and tools used for personal and community activities for utilization by a non-expert group of users"(Wikipedia). Nowadays, these types of techniques involves in most people's life. such as GPS, Google Map. People can easily to find the location they want to go through these tools. Besides, these techniques are also easily accessible. People can access these applications by any computers, lab tops, and phones. Therefore, Neogeography provide a easy life for everyone  in the world. 


However, neogeography still have many pitfalls. From my opinions, there are may be some inaccuracies in neogeography. Here are two main reasons. First, Anyone can create maps based on their personal knowledge. people's perspectives may be different from each other. Therefore, errors may be appeared in maps. Second, the world are changing nowadays. There are roads changing, new malls appearing, old restaurants disappearing everyday. Therefore, the speed of updating  maps often can't follow the speed of the changing world. This delay may cause the inaccuracy of neogeography as well. Overall, although neogeography may have some pitfalls, it still help people a lot.
