Georeferencing Method
Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 27 km along the road which connects the cities of Boa Vista and Bonfim (BR-401) in Mun. Bonfim, Roraima. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the road which connects the two cities, BR-401. Beginning at the start of BR-401 (at the approximate geographic center of the city of Boa Vista), used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 27 km (27.0002 km) toward the city of Bonfim; used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset along the road. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location by measuring from the approximate geographic center of the city of Boa Vista to the farthest extent of the city. Input coordinates, linear extent (9672.81 m), measurement error (0.5 m), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
