• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 20 km. along Rio Cuieiras, a tributary of Rio Negro. Using Google Maps, located Rio Cuieiras in Amazonas, Brazil. Used measurement tool to measure approximately 20 km. (20.0007 km.) along the river from the confluence of Rio Cuieiras and Rio Negro. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, on adjacent land. Used distance measurement tool (Google Maps) again to find linear extent by measuring the distance from the approximated geographic center of the confluence of Rio Cuieiras and Rio Negro to the farthest extent of the junction. Input coordinates, linear extent (1125.75 m.), measurement error (.01 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
