Only Outlaws use GPS's.

Wow! Never mind GPS surveys, if the author is right, they have outlawed just about all unlicensed GIS activity - even tracing orthophotos! I am not surprised when I hear suggestions OSM could be illegal in China, but _Florida_?

For anyone outside the profession, a straightforward response refusing their authority should be enough to send them on their way. If I were challenged by some cartographic body in my neck of the woods because I drew someone a diagram giving directions, I'd tell said body where to go.
I strongly suspect that a licensing body deciding by itself to expand its own scope in such a manner is beyond their powers, and demanding a licence for such a broad range of activity could be unconstitutional in the US. It would be like the General Medical Council saying that I can't apply a sticking plaster to my own finger after a paper cut.

Good thing I don't live in Florida, because I guess a broke a law, decided to clean up a bit of the area near the state capital. The streets are aligned pretty well just added some detail.
