  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Purus between Campina and Tambaqui in Mun. Tapauá, Amazonas. Used Google Maps - Earth View to find the regions of Campina and Tambaqui, both located along Rio Purus. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the shore of Campina and the approximate geographic center of the shore of Tambaqui then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Purus nearest to the midpoint of this line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the midpoint of Rio Purus between the villages. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Rio Purus within this segment. Input coordinates, linear extent (24620.0 m), and measurement error (50 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
