  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the center of the Praia da Barra do Cahi [alternative spelling = Cahy], which is near to the district/town of Curumuxatiba , in Mun. Prado, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located "Praia da Barra do Cahy". Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates (final) for the approximate geographic center of where the name "Praia da Barra do Cahy" appears on Google Maps. Because the Praia da Barra do Cahy does not have well defined boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to estimate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates at the approximate center of Praia da Barra do Cahi to the center of the nearest named place, Cai (-17.0001168 -39.183383), and dividing that distance by 2. Input linear extent (1019.655 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees) and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Undefined area)
