  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Geonames.org for location information for Porto Novo (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_-2.623_-54.978.html, accessed: 11/13/2014). Georeferenced to 1 km along the road which connects Porto Novo and Belterra in Mun. Belterra, Pará. Used the reference map and Google Maps - Earth View to find the road which connects Porto Novo to Belterra, assumed to be "Estrada Para Porto Novo." Beginning at the approximate location of Porto Novo, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 1 km (1.0 km) along the road toward the city of Belterra; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the offset along the road. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the linear extent of the starting location, the city of Porto Novo, by measuring from the approximate geographic center of Porto Novo to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place, Belterra, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (4.750 km), measurement error (.01 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
