Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Using Google Maps, located road "Alameda Rosa de Maio" in the Colonia Santo Antônio area of Manaus, Amazonas. Used measurement tool to measure a straight line between the two points on the road that are most removed from each other within the administrative boundaries specified in the locality description - between the start and finish of this road. Halved this distance to approximate the midpoint of this road. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates at this location. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the chosen point on the feature to the farthest point on the road that is within the administrative boundaries specified in the locality description - 733.393 m.), and measurement error (.001 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 734.963
