View Linkin Park 2010 A Thousand Suns Tour in a larger map
I chose to create my map based on the touring information about the band, Linkin Park. After 3 years since their third studio album, they released their fourth and latest album, A Thousand Suns, on September 14, 2010. On this map, I detailed the maps with points of when (dates) and where (locations and venues) the band will be performing for their 2010 tour. I also created a line of the path they would be travelling between these points, starting from New York, NY and ending in Sydney, Australia. Lastly, the polygon I chose to emphasis in my map is the venue, the Pomona Fairplex, located in Pomona, CA. This is where I first saw Linkin Park live on August 22, 2009.
The potential for neogeography is great because of its availability to the public. With tools such as Google Maps, everyone basically now has the capacity to make maps to depict whatever information they want to share. Unlike GIS, neogeography is flexible and open-sourced. Also with neogeography, the option of adding complementary material such as photos and videos to maps makes maps much more interesting to look at.
However, neogeography does have its pitfalls. By updating your own location, or the location of others to the public, a certain level of privacy is compromised. This is especially true for celebrities. Information on their location that is revealed on online sources, such as Twitter, can result in harassment from paparazzi or fans. In addition to the potential dangers of revealing one’s location, a consequence of neogeography is that it can suffer in quality. Because neogeography is considered “amateur”, a lot of content that is lacking in substance is produced. The reliability and accuracy of information can be greatly misinterpreted.
