  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of Xapuri, Acre. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Xapuri in Acre, Brazil. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because Xapuri does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure extent from the coordinates to the nearest named place, Brasileia; then halved this distance to find linear extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (23703.6 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
