  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the neighborhood of Tauá on Ilha do Governador in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; taking into account the added uncertainty of the word "pr." (prope) or near stated in the locality description. Used Google Maps – Earth and Map Views to locate the neighborhood of Tauá. Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the neighborhood. Because the nearest named place of appropriate size (neighborhood of Moneró) is nearer to the center of Tauá than the linear extent of Tauá itself, followed Case B of Near a Named Place of the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Tauá (at: -22.806344, -43.183757; spatial extent provided by Google Maps). Input: coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (1070.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Near a Named Place).
