  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 7km north of the geographic center of the city Joao da Chapada, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Using Google Maps - Satellite and Map Views - located the city of Sao Joao da Chapada. Used What's Here Tool (Google Maps) to find the coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the city (-18.086709, -43.742436). Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent of the city, by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city (-18.093853, -43.744689). To find 7km, north offset, input: coordinates (-18.086709, -43.742436), linear extent (820.74m), measurement error (0.01km), offset distance (7km), offset direction (N), into MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates (-18.0234644, -43.742436) and uncertainty radius (5996m). According to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide Offset: Offset at a heading.
