     Neogeography can be resourceful because it can give detail about certain things in a specific areas. It's resourceful because it portrays things that are interesting to one person that might be interesting to other. Its is good for creating maps with personal or community activities pointed out. It has potential because many people can create these types of maps using other geographical tools, so it becomes easier for non-experts to make them.

       The problem with neogeography is that it is not very formal and has little or no standards. When anyone can make a map of this sort, there is a chance that the information given is wrong. Sort of how in Wikipedia anyone can say anything so one is not guaranteed that everything is correct. Also if one gives someone a map of this type there might be things in it that don't correspond to what that someone is looking for. So if I give someone my map of San Diego, it might not work for them if they are trying to find a hospital because my map mostly labels places to visit not emergency places.
