...First, they contend error in the trial court's reliance on maps which were not part of the record, and its failure to follow the correct procedure in taking judicial notice of these maps. We agree that the trial judge strayed from the statutory procedure in section 90.204, Florida Statutes (1985), when on his own initiative he sought out and relied on two maps which had not been made a part of the record. The court failed to give the parties notice of the intent to resort to these maps. The court did not afford the parties an opportunity to challenge them as permitted in section 90.204....
