  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Difficult to discern the precise branch road stated in the description; instead, georeferenced to 20 km along Transamazon road (Altamira-Itaituba) in Mun. Altamira, Pará. Used Google Maps - Earth View to locate Rod. Transamazônica in the city of Altamira. Beginning at the approximate geographic midpoint of this road (BR-230) within the city of Altamira, used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure approximately 20 km (20.0 km) toward the city of Itaituba (westward). Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the offset along the road. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent of the starting location, the city of Altamira, by measuring from the approximate geographic center of the city to the farthest extent of the city. Input coordinates, linear extent (4.940 km), measurement error (.0025 km), and distance precision (10 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
