    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Wikimapia.org for additional locality information for Corcovado (http://wikimapia.org/2290868/Corcovado-Mountain, accessed: 12/3/2015). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the peak of Corcovado mountain (approx. 700 m) in Rio de Janeiro. Used the reference material and Google Maps – Earth and Terrain Views to locate Corcovado. Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the peak of Corcovado. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the peak of the mountain (using Terrain View to determine, to: -22.951258, -43.212573). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), linear extent (47.32 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
