Google Map Assignment

A trip to Joseph, OR

My Trip

I really enjoyed using Google Maps to create a day trip through Joseph, OR. It was very helpful to create a map based on my interests and highlight stops on my trip. Being able to add pictures of the stores I wanted to stop at was fun and would be helpful on a trip. I really liked how easy it was to find appropriate icons and add markers along the route.
I think that neogeography is really fun and useful but may be difficult for some populations to use. It is highly computer based and takes some basic online knowledge. Another difficulty I noticed is that when I was attempting to highlight stops on my route not all shops/stores were visible on the map so some people may have a difficult time creating an accurate route if they cannot find their stops on the map.
I was unaware of this tool Google Maps provided but I will now use it for future reference when planning my next trip.
