USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

As you use the cellular structure location data, be aware that the database may reflect uncorrected facility reporting errors.

Serve as base information for use in GIS systems for general planning, analytical, and research purposes. It is not intended for engineering work or to legally define reservation boundaries, FCC licensee data or FCC market boundaries.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

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.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

In 2012, the FCC stopped releasing its data as spatial data. Everything is released in databases now with associated .dat files for download. Downloaded Cellular 47 CFR Part 22 from (http://wireless.fcc.gov/antenna/index.htm? job=uls_transaction&page=weekly) in February 2017. - Opened and formatted LO.dat in Excel. Added field names using the FCC Database Field Definitions File: (http://wireless.fcc.gov/uls/documentation/pa_ddef50.pdf) and cellur_jun12. Saved coordinate fields as LATD, LATM, LATS, LATDIR, LOND, LONM, LONS, and LONDIR - Saved as .csv file - Opened .csv in ArcMap and exported to a dbase table - Added LATDD and LONDD fields using type = double. These fields will be used to house the coordinates in decimal degrees. These field names were chosen to mimic the coordinate fields in cellur_jun12 - Used field calculator to convert coordinate fields from DMS to DD. The equation for latitude (LATDD) was: ( [LATS] /3600) + ( [LATM] /60) + [LATD] The equation for longitude (LONDD) was: ( [LONS] /3600) + ( [LONM] /60) + [LOND] - Generated XY data using the LATDD and LONDD fields. The projection was defined as WGS 1984. CELLUR shapefile - Projected the event layer to Albers_Harn using project tool and exported out as shapefile - Clipped projected shapefile to the state of Florida - Opened and formatted EN.dat in Excel. Added field names using the FCC Database Field Definitions File and cellur_jun12. Deleted fields not present in cellur_jun12. Saved as .csv files. - EN file brought into ArcMap and joined with the cellur_jan17 feature class using TOWREG field. Exported out joined files to a new feature class - Edited the feature class attribute table to mimic cellur_jun12 - Added descript field based on Call Sign originally from LO.dat (CALLSIGN in shapefile) - Added FGDLAQDATE based on the date GeoPlan acquired the data - Added a LAT_DMS and LON_DMS field based on combination of LATD, LATM, LATS, LOND, LONM, and LONS then deleted those field because they are not present in the previous CELLUR shapefile - Restructured table and uppercased all fields Notes: When the FCC generated this data set spatially in the past they only included lat/lon in DMS. Previously the seconds included no decimal places and now they do include 1 decimal place. Now that we are generating the spatial locations from this data the improved accuracy has resulted is a visible shift that varies anywhere from 1-36 meters. Process Date: 20170209
