• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of Tamandaré in Mun. Tamandaré (adjacent to Mun. Rio Formoso), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Earth and Map Views to locate the city of Tamandaré. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because of the difficulty in determining the spatial extent of the city, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the approximate geographic center of the nearest named place, Praia dos Carneiros (at: -8.705939, -35.086822), then halving this distance. Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), linear extent (2705.0 ), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Undefined Area).
