  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of Manaus-Porto Velho road (BR-319). Using Google Maps, located road Manaus-Porto Velho, BR-319. Used the measurement tool to measure a straight line between the two points on the road that are most removed from each other within the administrative boundaries specified in the locality description - from the start of this road in Manaus to the end of the road in Porto Velho. Halved this distance to approximate the midpoint of BR-319. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates at the midpoint. Input coordinates, linear extent (the distance from the chosen midpoint along the road to the farthest point on the road that is within the administrative boundaries specified - 381826 m.), and measurement error (1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
