  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of the "Guarana factory;" instead, georeferenced to the geographic center of the city of Maués in Mun. Maués, Amazonas. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Maués along Rio Maués-Açu. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because Maués does not have defined spatial boundaries, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to approximate the linear extent of the city by measuring from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the nearest named place on the same side of Rio Maués-Açu, Vila Popunhal, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (6546.15 m), and measurement error (.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Referencing Guide, Named Place: Undefined Area).
