  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 4 km "above," or upstream, from the mouth of Rio Pacaás Novos in Mun. Guajará-Mirim, Rondônia. Using Google Maps - Satellite view, located Rio Pacaás Novos, a tributary of Rio Mamoré. Beginning at the mouth of Rio Pacaás Novos (confluence of Rio Pacaás Novos and Rio Mamoré), used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 4 km (3.97964 km) upstream (toward the headwaters) along Rio Pacaás Novos. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset, along the adjacent eastern shore of the river (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location, the mouth of Rio Pacaás Novos, by measuring from the approximate geographic center of the mouth to the farthest extent of the confluence. Input coordinates, linear extent (1.05467 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
