  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Inferred from a similar georeferenced site [IRN: 34696] that the "estrada Comandatuba" is the lone dirt road which exits from the town of Comadatuba and heads northward. Georeferenced to 5 km along the "unnamed" dirt road that heads north from the town of Comandatuba, in Mun. Una, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite view, located Comandatuba and the unnamed dirt road which leaves the town heading north (assumed to be estrada Comandatuba). Beginning at the approximate geographic center of the town of Comandatuba (-15.3561577 -38.9882174), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 5 km (5000.19 m) along estrada Comandatuba heading north. Used Canadensys Lat long Crosshairs to find the coordinates for the offset. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the town of Comandatuba, by measuring from the starting coordinates to the farthest extent of the city. Input coordinates, linear extent (665.355 m), measurement error (0.001 m), and distance precision (100 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
