  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of the trail mentioned in the locality description; instead, georeferenced to the shore of Rio Madeira approximately 2 km "below" (assumed to be downstream) the confluence of Rio Madeira and Rio Abunã in Rondônia, Brazil (very nearby the Bolivian-Brazilian border). Using Google Maps - Earth View, located the confluence of Rio Madeira and Rio Abunã. Beginning at the approximate geographic center of the confluence of the rivers, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 2 km (2.00 km) downstream (toward the mouth) along Rio Madeira, then used the Google Map - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the offset along the adjacent shore. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent of the starting location, the mouth of the river, by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the confluence of the rivers. Input coordinates, linear extent (1.18 km), measurement error (0.005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
