Maps and satellite imagery
show · educate · routeWeb-mapping and satellite views — the one evidence type with its own judicial-notice statute.
What this type commonly supports
- Distances, layouts, and relative positions
- Conditions visible from above, as of the imagery date
How the gates bear on it
Judicial notice
Section 90.2035 is the purpose-built route for web-map and satellite information — read its conditions whole.
Authentication
Outside the notice route, the ordinary finding-support standard applies.
“evidence sufficient to support a finding that the matter in question is what its proponent claims”
The governing units, loaded whole
- § 90.2035, Fla. Stat. — judicial notice of web maps
- § 90.202, Fla. Stat. — matters which may be noticed
The recurring failure modes
- Imagery dated years from the events
- Treating the map as proof of conditions the imagery cannot show
Software, not a law firm. This page teaches how Florida's evidence gates generally bear on this type — legal information, not legal advice, and never a prediction about your evidence. Whether a particular item clears the gates in your case is judgment work: an independent Florida attorney can review it and bill you directly. The five-gate frame lives on the Evidence Command Center.
