• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. R. is short for "Rua." Rua translated into English is 'street.' Georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint of Rua Marau in Imbé, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Map View to locate Rua Marau. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the two endpoints of the road, then halved this distance (1.13 km) to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Marau nearest to the midpoint of the line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximated midpoint of Rua Marau. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent of Rua Marau by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the road (1140 m). Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (1140 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: River, stream, road, path).
