  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the road connecting the cities of Zanderij and Affobakka in Brokopondo, Suriname. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate the road which directly connects the cities of Zanderij and Affobakka, Martin Luther Kingweg highway. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the location where this road connects with the unnamed road leading to the direct center of the city of Zanderij (directly east of the Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport in Zanderij) and the location where Martin Luther Kingweg highway reaches the approximate geographic center of Affobakka, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along the road closest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic midpoint of the road. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farther of the two localities. Input coordinates, linear extent (27130.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Note: Coordinates are located approximately 65 km south of the city of Paramaribo.
