  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic midpoint of Napo Street in the city of Iquitos, Loreto, Peru. Used Google Maps – Earth View to locate Napo Street in the city of Iquitos. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the start and end of Napo Street (-3.737215, -73.256983; -3.750111, -73.243099), then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Napo Street nearest to the midpoint of the line; used Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint of the road. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the street. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (1060.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
