  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unsure where mile markers are on this road. Unable to find "Morro da Torre da Embratel." Georeferenced to BR-364 within município Cacoal. Using Google Maps, located BR-364 in município Cacoal. Used measurement tool to measure a straight line from the two points on the road that are most removed from each other within the administrative boundaries specified in the locality description (within the município Cacoal). Halved this distance, and chose a point along the road nearest to this distance (midpoint of the road within the município). Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint of the road. Input coordinates, linear extent (the distance from the chosen point on the feature to the farthest point on the feature that is within the administrative boundaries specified in the locality description - 23456.8 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Georeferenced to BR-364 pictured in the Satellite View on Google Maps (discrepancy of road location between Satellite View and Map View).
