• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. could not find a place named "Flecheira" within the vicinity of Atilio Vivacqua; however, located a town called Frecheiras in the southern portion of the municipality of Atilio Vivacqua and assumed that to be the correct spelling and location of this collection. Therefore, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the town of Frecheiras, in Mun. Atilio Vivacqua, Espírito Santo. Using Falling Rain, found reference to the town of Frecheiras (noticed because of it similar spelling to "Flecheira"), and using Google Maps - What's Here tool found coordinates (final) for the approximate center of the town. Because the locality is vague, and the boundaries of the town are poorly defined, used Google Maps - Measure Distance tool to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates at the center of town to the center of the nearest named place, Sao Joao do Largo (-21.0500 -41.1333; coordinates from Falling Rain), then dividing that distance by 2. Input linear extent (2604.25 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the Uncertainty radius.
