• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 2 km along road BA-001, the only road which connects these two named places, away from the town of Olivença and towards the town/municipality of Una, Mun. Ilhéus, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Search Engine, located the general location of the city of Olivença, then using Google Maps - Satellite View, found the nearby town referenced as "Olivença" in Wikimapia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located road BA-001. Beginning at the point along BA-001 closest to the approximate geographic center of Olivença (-14.9468373 -39.0098414), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 2 km (2000.17 m) along road BA-001 towards Una. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset (and of the starting point of the offset near the center of Olivença). Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the town of Olivença, by measuring the distance from the point along BA-001 closest to the approximate geographic center of Olivença (-14.9468373 -39.0098414) to the most distant edge of the town as it is visualized using Google Maps - Satellite view (consistent with borderline shown on Wikimapia). Input coordinates, linear extent (2366.52 m), measurement error (0.01 m), and distance precision (100 m), into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset along a path).
