Lab 3




View Lisbon Surfing Trail in a larger map


This is a neogeographical map of a proposed day filled with beaches and surfing in my hometown of Lisbon, Portugal. Neogeography is exactly what is meant by the word: new geography. It allows for user generated geographical content and interaction between users on content relating to geography. It basically allows for people who are not experts in geography to use complex cartography tools and interfaces (e.g. through the use of online maps) and adding their own data to it, for personal use or to share with others for all types of activities (ranging from directions, to references, to sharing memories). This neogeographical map was created using Google Maps, but there are a variety of other websites offering such technology, such as Bing or MapQuest. In this map, I share my recommendation for beach-going and surfing in Lisbon, as well as dining and nightlife, for everyone who is keen on spending a fun-packed day in the coastal capital of Portugal.
