  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 1 km southwest along Abunã-Guajará-Mirim road from the village of Riberão in Mun. Guajará-Mirim, Rondônia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the village of Riberão and the road which connects Abunã and Guajará-Mirim, BR-425. Beginning at the intersection of BR-425 and the unnamed road which leads to the village of Riberão, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 1 km (1.00 km) southward. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates at this offset along the road. Because Riberão does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the starting location, Riberão, by measuring from the approximate geographic center of Riberão to the nearest named place, Misericordia, then halving that distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (2.04 km), measurement error (.01 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
