Narrative:

Sightseeing around fll airspace. Using an enlarged TCA sectional, position of aircraft with numerous multi-lane hwys in area, realizing that I may have slightly penetrated a small part of surface to 4000 ft of fll airspace. An immediate turn to the west took me directly out of the airport control zone. Another VFR aircraft at same altitude turned north as we turned west and came within 1/2 mi. Contacting approach control at fll would have avoided any problems with their airspace. The aircraft was a rented C210 based at gvn.
