Geocollaboration

Geocollaboration is a new strategy that favours the empowerment of neocartographers, as it allows the generation of data using GPS navigators, mobile sensors (such as smartphones and tablets) and collaborative mapping platforms on the web.

Geocollaboration:

Challenges:

How can we:

improve the credibility

reduce the uncertainty

of the map content generated by neocartographers ?

Solutions:

training courses

orientation to volunteers

revision of map elements

comparison among different platforms
