  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. No road section formally called BA-265 exists at present in the vicinity of the Municipality of Barra do Choça, in the state of Bahia. Only one road stretches between the towns of Barra do Choça and Caatiba, and that is BA 646; therefore, it was assumed that road BA 646 (not BA 265) is the true road being referenced in this locality description. Georeferenced to 8 km along BA 646 from the town of Caatiba in the direction of Barra do Choça (NW). Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Caatiba, Barra do Choça, and the road connecting them (BA 646). Beginning at the point alon BA 646 closest to the approximate geographic center of the town of Caatiba (-14.9796738 -40.4092169), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximatly 8 km (8.00013 km) towards the town of Barra do Choça. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs found coordinates for the offset. Using Distance Measurement Tool again, found the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the town of Caatiba, by measuring from the selected coordinates along BA 646 to the farthest extent of the town (-14.9740459 -40.4064167). Input coordinates, linear extent (0.695988 km), distance precision (1 km), and measurement error (0.0005 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset along a path).
