  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to GeoNames.org for locality information for Copacabana (http://www.geonames.org/maps/google_-15.333_-68.217.html, accessed: 2/5/2015). Georeferenced to the geographic center of Copacabana in the vicinity of Mapiri, Prov. Larecaja, La Paz Department. Used the Google Maps - Earth View to find the village of Copacabana, nearby Mapiri. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of Copacabana. Because Copacabana does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the approximate linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place, San José, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (1.175 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Undefined Area). Copacabana is approximately 3 km south of Mapiri.
