    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the patch of forest across highway 262 from the approximate geographic center of the town of Santa Isabel, located at approximately 34 km along highway 262 from the place where that road begins, in Mun. Domingos Martins, ES. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located highway 262. Using Google Maps - Measure Distance tool, identified the town located at 34 km along highway 262 from the start of that road near the outskirts of the city of Vila Velha/Vitoria, ES (-20.332520, -40.355413). Using Wikimapia and Google Maps - Map View, verified that the town located in this position is indeed named Santa Isabel. Using Google Maps - What's Here tool, found coordinates (final) for the closest patch of forest to the approximate geographic center of Santa Isabel. Because the boundaries of Santa Isabel are poorly defined, used Google Maps - Measure Distance tool to estimate linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates near the center of Santa Isabel to the center of the nearest named place, Pedra Do Vento (-20.383308, -40.600028), then divided that distance by 2. Input linear extent (1156.75 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
