In an ever changing world, it is important to be able to understand the relationship between a space geographically and the experience it can bring. The application of things such as Tripgeo allow for one to plan an excursion with the luxury of knowing what kind of things to expect along the way.  Tripgeo is a geospatial application of Google Streetview that allows the user to design a walking or biking route while allowing the user to explore a desired route without any effort or travel being involved. The importance of such an application is that it allows the user to be able to plan to see different areas of interest such as tourist locations without having to leave the comfort of home. Tripgeo also allows the user to feel comfortable that the route they plan will include all that they want to see, and actually be able to preview the route before going out and exploring.   

Tripgeo has several user submitted examples of different routes, but gives the user the ability to create their own route and upload it to the website. The simple interface allows for a slideshow of the route to be played so the experience of the trip can be seen easier. One example map includes a tour of the Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding area. The only limitation to this application is that it is limited to places where Google Streetview is available, though more and more places are being added constantly to overcome this.
