  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 10 km SW of turn to Humaitá on Manaus-Porto Velho Road (BR-319). Using Google Maps, located road BR-319 in Humaitá, Amazonas. Located the turn to Humaitá off of BR-319; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find coordinates at that junction. Used measurement tool (Google Maps) to measure the linear extent of the city, from the approximated geographic center to the farthest extent of Humaitá. Input coordinates, offset direction (SW), offset distance (10000 m.), linear extent (6771.64 m.), measurement error (.01 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
