Our most current release, FGDL Version 2006 will be available for order on DVD or CDROM (starting April 2, 2007) Our prior release, FGDL Version 2005 is no longer available. The FGDL Version 2005 Order form is no longer valid as of March 20, 2007. FGDL Version 2005 Order forms postmarked by March 20 will be honored.

FGDL Version Schedule: Annual versions of FGDL data will be released on DVD in the spring of each year. Versions will be dated as the year prior. For example, FGDL Version 2006 will be released in spring 2007 and will be a culmination of all data gathered in 2006. In the meantime, individual data layers will continuously be released and available for download through the FGDL Metadata Explorer. The FGDL metadata for these layers will be labeled as 'FGDL Version 2006'.

*NOTE: FGDL is now being distributed on both DVD and CD-ROM. If you are ordering only one county of data, then you will likely want to purchase a CD-ROM. If you need multiple counties of data, then you will likely want to purchase a DVD.


To order FGDL Version 2006 on CD-ROM or DVD:

  1. 1. Decide which FGDL CD-ROM or DVD SERIES you want to purchase.

    Please note that the State data is only available on DVD.
    Also note, the 1-Meter and 3-Meter DOQQs are no longer available. DOQQs are available from LABINS.
    The 3-meter DOQQs are still available for download on the ftp site under the county data.

  2. 2. Send us an Order Form

    Please print out and complete an Order Form:

    If you would like to purchase both CD-ROMS and DVDs, you must fill out both order forms.

    ***Please allow 3 weeks for delivery. Payment or Purchase Order must be received before shipping.

    NOTE: The legal disclaimer on the order form has a very simple meaning. In plain English, this disclaimer says that you can use the data however you choose (make maps, edit the data, etc.). The only thing you cannot do is copy a FGDL CD-ROM and distribute it to someone outside your agency.

  3. 3. Send a check or money order

    We accept any of the following payment methods:
    • Checks made out to the University of Florida
