  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Wikimapia.org for additional locality information for Ilha do Cardoso (http://wikimapia.org/2939838/Ilha-do-Cardoso-Cardoso-s-Island, accessed: 9/30/2015). Also referred to geo-tagged Google Maps images and a guide map of Ilha do Cardoso (see image: http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad332/mariaojm1/varios/IlhadoCardoso.jpg) for the approximate location of Foles (and Morro do Foles). Due of the difficulty in determining which portion of the base of the hill to georeference to, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the hill assumed to be Morro do Foles on Ilha do Cardoso, Mun. Cananéia, São Paulo, Brazil. Used the reference material and Google Maps - Earth and Terrain Views to locate the neighborhood of Foles on Ilha do Cardoso. Located a distinct (though unmarked on Google Maps) hill determined to be Morro do Foles due to proximity to Praia do Foles. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the unmarked hill assumed to be Morro do Foles. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the hill (to: -25.149712, -47.932186). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), linear extent (985.81 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
