  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Using Google Maps, located road Manaus-Porto Velho, BR-319. Starting at the location where Rua Min. João Gonçalves de Araújo turns into BR-319, measured approximately 2 km. (2.00534 km.) toward Porto Velho. At this point BR-319 meets Amazon River and travellers must take a ferry to cross the river, bringing them to Careiro Da Várzea. Continued measuring distance along BR-319 at the start of this road in Careiro Da Várzea. Measured to approximately 678 km. (678.0003 km.) total along BR-319. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find coordinates. Used measurement tool again (Google Maps) to measure the linear extent of Manaus. Input coordinates, linear extent (14317.95 m.), measurement error (.01 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferncing Calculator to calculate the uncertainty radius.
