  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise road "estrada que leva para Salinas;" instead, georeferenced to the geographic center of the city of Joanes in município Salvaterra, Ilha do Marajó. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Joanes. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of Joanes. Because the city of Joanes does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the nearest named place, Jubim, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (4073.675 m.), and measurement error (.001 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
