  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 5 km north of the approximate geographic center of the city of Manaus. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Manaus. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the urban area of Manaus. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Município Manaus, to ensure that the linear extent encompassed the entire area considered to be "Manaus." Input coordinates, linear extent (136.293 km), measurement error (.0005 km), offset distance (N), offset direction (5 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
