Neogeography has many benefits, but also some consequences. Neogeography is a very helpful way to show and share a lot of information with other people. It allows you to be very specific with location and detail about that location. It can allow others to shadow a specific trail you had travel or easily find a point of interest.
But, with specificity, it exposes a lot of personal information that you might not want a lot of people to know. It is potentially dangerous because it could lead to easy stalking. It is also limited to the map you have (e.g. outdated map or an inaccurate map). Neogeography itself doesn't pose a problem, but where the one posts their neogeographic information poses a problem. The internet allows for a global network and connects many people together, but it's also a public setting where people must be wary of what they expose.
