  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to an offset of approximately 205.5 km (midpoint of the offset range) along Belém-Brasilia road in Pará, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the roads which directly connect Belém, Pará in the north to Brasilia, Federal District in the south. This route begins at the beginning of road BR-316 in Belém, then connects to BR-010, which leads south to Brasilia. Beginning at the start of road BR-316 (where BR-316 branches off from Av. Alm. Barroso) in Belém, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 205.5 km (205.5 km) along this route toward Brasilia. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the offset along this road. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the starting location, in this case the city of Belém, by measuring from the approximate geographic center of the city to the farthest extent of the city. Input coordinates, linear extent (15.83 km), measurement error (.0025 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Added half of the offset range (44.5 km) to the uncertainty radius to account for the added uncertainty of the offset provided in a range format.
