  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "Village Bacuri;" georeferenced to 40 km upstream Rio Tea from the mouth of the river (confluence of Rio Tea and Rio Negro). Using Google Earth and Google Maps - Satellite View, located Rio Tea in Amazonas, Brazil. Beginning at the mouth of Rio Tea (confluence of Rio Tea and Rio Negro), used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 40 km (40.0605) upstream along Rio Tea. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the offset coordinates, on the adjacent shore. Used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location (mouth of the river) by measuring from the geographic center of Rio Tea to the farthest extent of the confluence of the rivers. Input coordinates, linear extent (1766.66 m), measurement error (.01 m), and distance measurement tool (100 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
