This atlas is useless: Delorme did a useless job on the Florida atlas, the side roads are not named at all. The main roads are named and what good is that. This is the worst map that I have encountered from Delorme. I would not recommend it to anyone. I would like my 19.95 plus Florida tax back on this atlas.
No STRs makes this useless to Real Estate/Surveying Industry: I just bought the 5th edition of this Delorme Florida Atlas. However, the Florida atlas does not include the Section, Township, & Range system that Florida County parcel # real estate legal descriptions are based on thus making this atlas useless to the real estate/surveying/flood zone determination industry. The Section, Township, & Range system is especially useful when you are dealing with new construction that aren't on any maps yet, or with incorrect/incomplete addresses. With the STR system you can get the location narrowed down to a one square mile area. This lack of STRs was surprising to me because I recently purchased a Wisconsin Atlas by Delorme that had STRs in it & it was very useful. This was a major mistake/oversight on the part of Delorme & I am returning my copy to the map store tommorrow. Hopefully, they will correct this error in the sixth edition.
LACKS OF DETAILED STREET NAMES: I use this book occasionally, but it is lacks the detailed for use by itself. Where I do use it is with mapquest, that tends to not show the smaller lakes, but the Gazetteer does a much better job.
Florida?: This atlas is as useless as the state of Florida. Both the altlas and the state can drop off the face of the earth.
Florida Atlas & Gazateer: This is the second Delorme Atlas I have purchased and it contains a wealth of information regarding lakes and rivers for fishing. Secondary roads are clearly marked, as are boat ramps and launching areas. Many lakes are identified as to species of fish that are there. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to locate fishing areas throughout the entire state. While many of the smaller roads are not identified, it shows enough information to be able to get where you want to go. My only advice would be to label more of the smaller roads leading to the lakes.
