Some pitfalls of neogeography are an invasion of privacy and and the freedom to access this information. However, sometimes this information can be useful. For example, we have seen neogeography used in the location of stolen cars, laptops, and even locational services to locate sex offenders.

There is a lot of potential for neogeography especially in our computer information age. We can use neogeography for a lot of different services such as trip planning, flight tracking, and to locate retail stores we use everyday. But as always, the main consequence of neogeography is the invasion of privacy and who is allowed and what information should be made public.

3. The quadrangle was first created in 1966
4. The North American Datum of 1927 was used to create this map.
5. The scale of the map is 1:24,000
6. A. 1/24,000 x 5m= 5/120,000, divide by 100 to convert to meters = 1200 meters
B. 1/24,000 x 5in = 5/120,000 in divide by 63,360 = 1.89 miles
C. 5,280 ft/ 1 mile x 12in/ 1 ft= 2.64 in
D 1/24,000 = d/3 km, d= .000125km, .000125km x 1000m/ 1 km x 100cm/ 1m= 12.5 cm
