USER NOTES:

Scale is an important factor in data usage.  Certain scale datasets are not
suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure 
you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county 
level.  1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such 
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the 
multi-county or regional level.
1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the 
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered 
suspect.  Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for 
projects or analyses.  Every effort has been made to supply the user with 
data documentation.  For additional information, see the References section 
and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.  For more 
information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at:
http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html
