  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of Ilha San Salvador; instead, georeferenced to 40 km northwest of the approximate geographic center of the city of Boa Vista in Mun. Boa Vista, Roraima. Used the Google Maps - Earth View to find the geographic center of the city of Boa Vista; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city. To find the offset coordinates and uncertainty radius, input coordinates, (2.823622, -60.705692), linear extent (9.82 km), offset distance (40 km), offset direction (NW), measurement error (.0025 km), and distance precision (10 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
