作者描述了我们如何利用web2.0技术的力量来创建收集、映射和共享地理编码数据的新方法。作者开始与GMapCreator，让用户时尚的新地图使用谷歌地图作为基础。然后，作者描述了MapTube，它使用户能够存档地图，并演示了它如何在各种环境中用于共享地图信息，将现有地图转换为可以共享的形式，以及使用众包，众包和传统广播的组合自下而上创建新地图。作者最后认为，这些工具有助于定义一种基本上是“为大众绘制地图”的新地理学，同时指出，有许多质量，准确性，版权和信任问题将影响这些工具对基于地图的通信的影响。
The authors describe how we are harnessing the power of web 2.0 technologies to create new approaches to collecting, mapping, and sharing geocoded data. The authors begin with GMapCreator that lets users fashion new maps using Google Maps as a base. The authors then describe MapTube that enables users to archive maps and demonstrate how it can be used in a variety of contexts to share map information, to put existing maps into a form that can be shared, and to create new maps from the bottom-up using a combination of crowdcasting, crowdsourcing, and traditional broadcasting. The authors conclude by arguing that such tools are helping to define a neogeography that is essentially "mapping for the masses,'' while noting that there are many issues of quality, accuracy, copyright, and trust that will influence the impact of these tools on map-based communication.
