  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Interpreted this locality as: "15-20 km along the road from Alcobaça (or a point along the road near to Alcobaça) towards Itamaraju"; therefore, georeferenced to 17.5 km (average of 15 and 20 km) along the sequence of roads connecting Alcobaça to Itamaraju (BA 290 & BA 001), in Mun. Alcobaça, Bahia. Since the starting position is not clearly indicated in the description, and the layout of Alcobaca could allow for multiple interpretations, chose a starting point midway along the highway between the two most extreme and likely options: 1) the place where BA 290 departs from the center of the city of Alcobaça heading NW & W towards BA 001 (-17.528657 -39.1931248), and 2) the point where BA 290 intersects with BA 001 (about 2.4 km W of the city), the latter of which then heads N in the true direction of Itamaraju (-17.5124304 -39.2212343). The road distance from this point to the further of the two endpoints of this stretch of road was used as the linear extent for the start of the offset (2.306395 km). Beginning at this selected midpoint (-17.5107678 -39.2030114), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure ca. 2.3 km along BA 290, and ca. 15.2 along BA 001 for a total distance of approximately 17.5 km (17.5000 km) towards Itamaraju. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs found coordinates for the offset. Input coordinates, linear extent (2.306395 km), distance precision (1 km), and measurement error (0.0005 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset along a path). an additional 2500 m was added to the uncertainty output from the MaNIS calculator to account for the 2.5 km difference between the distance ranges provided on the label and the average distance used for measuring the offset.
