• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of the city of Sambaituba, in Ilhéus, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Sambaituba. Used Canadensys Lat/Long to find the approximate geographic center of the city. Because the city of Sambaituba does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest named place, Aritaguá, then halving this extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (2185.05 m), measurement error (0.01 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
