  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the shoreline of Pôrto Platon along Rio Araguari, taking into account the added uncertainty of the 6 km offset without direction mentioned in the locality description. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Rio Araguari at the village of Pôrto Platon in Mun. Amapá, Amapa. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the shoreline of Pôrto Platon along Rio Araguari. Because the village of Pôrto Platon does not have defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place along Rio Araguari, Porto Grande, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (1.756565 km), measurement error (.0005 km), offset distance (6 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset only, no direction).
