  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to an offset of 200 km northwest of the approximate geographic center of the city of Cuiabá in Mato Grosso, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the city of Cuiabá. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the city by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city (spatial extent provided by Google Maps). Input coordinates(-15.612755, -56.043867), linear extent (13.680 km), offset distance (200 km), offset direction (NW), measurement error (.005 km), and distance precision (100 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
