Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Since the locality description does not clearly state whether this collection was made in the vicinity of the town of Comadatuba, or specifically along one of several side-roads that turn off from Una/Canavieras (one of which leads to Comadatuba), interpreted this georeference as "near Comandatuba", to incorporate both possibilities into the uncertainty radius. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the town of Comadatuba, in Mun. Una, Bahia. Using Google Maps (Satellite View), located the town of Comandatuba. Using Canadensys Lat/Long crosshairs, found coordinates for the approximate geographic center of the town of Comandatuba. Since the center of the nearest named place, the city of Una, is farther from the approximate geographic center of Comandatuba than the linear extent of Comandatuba itself (Case A), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google maps) to determine the linear extent by measuring the distance to the nearest named place, the city of Una, and halving that extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (5833.35 m), and measurement error (0.01 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the Uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Near a Named Place).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 5834.93
