  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 7 km along the road which connects the city of Sena Madureira to the city of Rio Branco, BR-364, in Acre, Brazil. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the road which connects the two cities, BR-364. Beginning at BR-364 at the approximate geographic center of the city of Sena Madureira (junction of BR-364, AC-339, and Av. Brazil), used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 7 km (7.00025 km) along the road toward Rio Branco. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset along the road. Used the Distance Measurement Tool again to find the approximate linear extent of the city of the starting location, Sena Madureira, by measuring from the geographic center of the city to the nearest named city of comparable size, Manoel Urbano, then halved this distance (note: measured to nearest named city of comparable size because technically there are nearer named places, but which appear to be small rural villages which may be under the jurisdiction of the city of Sena Madureira). Input coordinates, linear extent (35.6319 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), and distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
