  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 5 km. along Rio Jandiatuba in São Paulo de Olivença, Amazonas. Referred to Wikimapia website, "Foz do rio Jandiatuba," for locality information for Rio Jandiatuba (http://wikimapia.org/10593876/pt/Foz-do-rio-Jandiatuba-Amazonas). Using the reference map and Google Maps - Satellite View, located Rio Jandiatuba, a tributary of Rio Solimões. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 5 km. (5.00158 km.) along the river. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates on the adjacent river bank (this site appears to often become inundated by Rio Solimões). Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the mouth of Rio Jandiatuba, by measuring the total extent of the mouth then halving that distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (971.2 m.), measurement error (.1 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
