  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 8 km north east of the approximate geographic center of the city of Porto Velho in Mun. Porto Velho, Rondônia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Porto Velho. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the approximate geographic center of the city. Because the city has defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city. To find the offset, input coordinates (-8.7588666,-63.8652474), linear extent (8.24954 km), offset distance (8 km), offset direction (NE), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
