• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the area south of the approximate geographic center of the city of Cabo Frio in Mun. Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Map and Earth Views to locate Cabo Frio and the nearest named place in the southern direction, the city of Arraial do Cabo. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the city of Cabo Frio (-22.874703, -42.032149) and the approximate geographic center of the city of Arraial do Cabo (-22.968776, -42.026055), then halved this distance to find the midpoint between the two. The geographic midpoint between these cities is in the Atlantic Ocean; moved the point to the nearest place on the shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate midpoint between the cities, on the coast. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), linear extent (5360.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Direction only, no distance).
