  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 2.5 km NW from a point 7 km along the sequence of roads which connect Itacaré to Ilhéus, BA-654 and BA-001, in Mun. Itacaré, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Itacaré, the city of Ilhéus, and the sequence of roads which connect them, BA-654 and BA-001. Beginning at the point along BA-654 closest to the approximate geographic center of the city of Itacaré (-14.2798783 -38.9951697), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 5.7 km along BA-654 (SW) and then 1.3 km along BA-001 (S), for a total distance of 7 km (7.00019 km) towards Ilhéus. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the initial offset along the road. Using Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again, found the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the city of Itacaré, by measuring from the chosen coordinates near the center of the city to the farthest extent of the city. Input linear extent (1.13611 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the initial uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset along a path). Next, to account for the second offset of 2.5 km NW from the initial coordinates along the road, input coordinates for the initial offset (-14.3233245 -39.0244702), direction (NW), offset distance (2.5 km), linear extent (uncertainly output from the previous MaNIS calculation, 1.638 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1/2 km), into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the final coordinates and uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset at a heading).
