  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 7 km. along Rio Juruá. Using Google Maps, located Rio Juruá in Amazonas, BR. Beginning at the mouth of Rio Juruá, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 7 km. (7.00826 km.) along Rio Juruá. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, along the adjacent shore. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to measure linear extent of the nearest named place, the city of Fonte Boa. Input coordinates, linear extent (5065.00 m.), measurement error (.01 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
