Neogeography is a user-friendly way to share geospatial data with friends and relatives without having to learn the complexities of GIS. The applications are usually free, easy to use and provide enough variety for most users to create a fun, easy-to-follow map.
ArcGIS and other scientific data integration tool users require more precision than the average google maps user making a walking map of San Francisco to share with friends. Neogeography is more subjective and recreational, and while user-friendly geospatial data interfaces are a great tool for the user to share their interests and experiences, substituting google maps and google earth for ArcGIS is not practical for social, environmental or geo sciences.
