  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Road "Estrada do Aleixo" is now named "Av. Cosme Ferreira," according to Apontador website (http://www.apontador.com.br/guia_de_ruas/am/manaus/estrada_do_aleixo.html). Locality description states 19 km. along this road, but the extent of Av. Cosme Ferreira is only approximately 14 km. Because of this, georeferenced to the geographic center of Av. Cosme Ferreira. Used measurement tool to measure a straight line starting at the beginning of Estrada do Aleixo in Aleixo, Manaus to the end of the road (where it turns into Av. Getulio Vargas). Halved this distance to approximate the geographic midpoint of the road. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the midpoint along the road to the farthest point on the feature that is within the administrative boundaries specified in the locality description - 4992.95 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
