  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to INPA website (http://www.inpa.gov.br/reservas/reservas2.php) for more information about Reserva Biológica INPA. The biological reserve is located at approximately 60 km. along BR-174 (Manaus-Boa Vista) and the reserve has an area of 900 hectares. Unable to pinpoint exact geographic center of the reserve; georeferenced to km. 45 along road BR-174 (according to label). road Manaus-Boa Vista is synonymous with road Manaus-Caracaraí, they are both BR-174. Using Google Maps, located the road BR-174. Beginning at the start of this road in Manaus, used the measurement tool to measure approximately 45 km. (45.0001 km.) along the road toward Caracaraí. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the 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.
