Map:

Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to 6 km. north of Porto Grande. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Porto Grande. Approximated the geographic center of Porto Grande, then used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Because the spatial boundaries of Porto Grande are undefined, used measurement tool (Google Maps) to measure the total extent from the geographic center of Porto Grande to the geographic center of the nearest named place, Ferreira Gomes. Halved this distance to approximate the linear extent of Porto Grande. Input coordinates, offset direction (E), offset distance (6000 m.), linear extent (15246.55 m.), measurement error (.01 m), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferncing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 17575.3
