  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 4 km along the road which connects the city of Olivença to the city of Ilhéus (BA-001), in Mun. Ilhéus, Bahia. Used Google Maps - Search Engine, to locate the general location of the city of Olivença, then using Google Maps - Satellite View, found the nearby town referenced as "Olivença" in Wikimapia. Next, Google Maps - Satellite View, to locate the city of Ilhéus, and the road connecting that city to the town of Olivença. Beginning at the point along BA-001 closest to the approximate geographic center of Olivença (-14.9468373 -39.0098414), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 4 km (4000.13 m) along BA-001 toward the city of Ilhéus. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset (along with the approximate geographic center of Olivença provided above). Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the starting location of the offset, the town of Olivença, by measuring the distance from the approximate geographic center of Olivença (-14.9468373 -39.0098414) to the most distant edge of the town as it is visualized using Google Maps - Satellite view (consistent with borderline shown on Wikimapia). Input coordinates, linear extent (2366.52 m), measurment error (0.01), and distance precision (100 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset along a path).
