  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. The spatial extent of Rurrenabaque provided by Google Maps is too large, since it encompasses another separate city, San Buenaventura, which is separated by Rio Beni and is located in another Bolivian Department (referred to Bing Maps, GeoNames.org, and WikiMapia.org). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of Rurrenabaque in Prov. General José Ballivián, Beni, using best judgment to approximate the linear extent of the city. Used Bing Maps - Aerial View and Google Maps - Earth View to locate the city of Rurrenabaque. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the approximate linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city (using visual evidence). Input coordinates, linear extent (3930.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Go referencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
