  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Skyscrapercity.com website (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=23593060) and Google Earth for location information for Cacau Pirêra. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Cacau Pirêra in Iranduba, Amazonas. Using the reference material and Google Maps - Satellite View, located the village of Cacau Pirêra across Rio Negro from the city of Manaus (connected to Manaus by the Manaus Iranduba Bridge, or "Ponte Rio Negro," built in 2011). Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of Cacau Pirêra. Because Cacau Pirêra does not have defined spatial boundaries, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent of the village by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest named place, the city of Iranduba, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (7728.35 m), and measurement error (.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
