  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Assumed the road stated in the locality description to be BR-174 from clues in the locality description. Georeferenced to an offset of 135 km along BR-174 from Caceres toward Serra do Aguapei. Used the Google Maps - Earth View to locate the road connecting the two locations. Starting at the location where the road meets the approximate geographic center of the city of Caceres, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 135 km (135.0 km) toward the southern portion of Serra do Aguapei. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates at this location. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent of the starting location, the city of Caceres, by measuring from the approximate geographic center of the city to the farthest extent (spatial extent provided by Google Maps). Input coordinates, linear extent (7.65 km), measurement error (.005 km), distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
