Georeferencing Method

Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 1600m high at base of Serra da Piedade, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Using Google Maps - Satellite and Map View - located Serra da Piedade, between the cities of Belo Horizonte and Caeté. Used Terrain View (Google Maps) to located the 1600m high closest to the Serra da Piedade (-19.820266, -43.676328), used it as the select geographic center.
