Process_Description:
GeoPlan received this dataset from Albert Gan via email in October of 2008. The data was received in individual shapefiles by county and was in the following projection: Albers, NAD 83 HARN. The datasets were merged using the merge tool in arcgis.
- Added field NAME based on most appropriate name field provided - Added COUNTY field based on county where route is located - Added year field based on currency of data - Added DESCRIPT field based on ROUTE - Trimed leading whitespaces in DESCRIPT field - Added FGDLAQDATE based on date downloaded from source - Upcased all fields - Original file received was named routes.zip which contained 26 folders containing routes for specific areas
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: GeoPlan
Process_Date: 20081120
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Updated DESCRIPT field by doing the following: If there is a non-0 ROUTE field value and no NAME field value, then the DESCRIPT field value will be "ROUTE #". If there is a NAME field value and no ROUTE field value then the DESCRIPT field value will be "NAME". If there is a ROUTE field value and a NAME field value then it will be "ROUTE # - NAME". If there is no ROUTE field value or the value of the ROUTE field is 0 and no NAME field value then the DESCRIPT field will be "NO DESCRIPT AVAILABLE".

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling 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. 1:125000 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 analysis. 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 webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
