     Neogeography has dramatically improved the interactivity of online maps that help users locate desired services and locations. Users can browse online maps of familiar an unfamiliar areas alike to get  an overview of the area at a glance. Integrated search options confine the results to give the user results that meet their criteria. In many cases, these features streamline and expand the capabilities of online maps.
     The drawbacks that this technology can cause is that users can become too dependent on its use. If a person was faced without the option of advanced mapping who overly relied on them, they might not be able to interpret or navigate a regular map if faced with that option. Also, there is the potential invasion of privacy as technology continues to grow and advance. Some people might already consider it borderline.
