Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (The locality description does not specify the direction traveled away from the road to the place of collection, so the information written as: "ca 2 km from road" was applied to the uncertainty calculation as an offset/no direction. Georeferenced to a point along the road which connects BA-001 to the town of Vila Brasil, BA-668, 20 km distant from its junction with BA-001 (which lies approximately 40 km S of Ilheus), in Mun. Una, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located BA-668. Beginning at the junction of BA-001 and BA-668 (-15.0809525 -38.9988846), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 20 km (20000.4 m) along BA-668 towards the town of Vila Brasil. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates for this offset. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the intersection of BA-668 and BA-001, by measuring the maximum extent of the intersection and dividing by half. Input coordinates (-15.3824215 -39.2569077), offset distance (2000 m), linear extent (19.8785 m), measurement error (0.0001 m), and distance precision (100 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the final offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset along a path & offset only, no direction).)
