Online Mapping (Google Earth, ArcExplorer)
Web 2.0 and the Neogeographer
•You don’t need to be a professional cartographer to create a map
•You don’t need to be a programmer to create a mapping application
Neogeography : Essentially, Neogeography is about people using and
creating their own maps, on their own terms and by combining elements
of an existing toolset. Andrew Turner, 2007.

- Lines
- Shapes
Once you have created a map, you can:
Add descriptive text, including rich text and HTML
Embed photos and videos in your map
Share your maps with others
Import KML or GeoRSS to your map
Open your map in Google Earth

Internet Mapping
A
mapping service allows you to create maps on
their server, on the internet. You don’t need any
special programs downloaded because you are
creating a map on a server that provides you with
the ability to interact with their software and data.
These
types of sites vary with features – with some
allowing you only basic input, whereas others
support customizable legends, titles, and selective
datasets.
