Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the Oyapock Airfield (synonymous with Oiapoque Airport), taking into account the added uncertainty of the word "redor" (around) in the locality description. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the Oyapock airport. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the airstrip of the airport. Because the center of the nearest named place is farther from the center of the airport than the linear extent of the airport itself, followed Case A of Named Place: Near a Named Place of the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the nearest named place, Taparabu, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (3544.47 m), and measurement error (.5 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): 3546.54
