  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 90 km. NNE of the geographic center of Manaus. Using Google Maps, located the geographic center of the city of Manaus. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Used measurement tool (Google Maps) to measure linear extent from the geographic center of the city to the outskirts of Manaus. Input coordinates, offset direction (NNE), offset distance (90000 m.), linear extent (131040 m.), measurement error (1 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
