  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the closest point at 2650 m elevation to the approximate geographic center of all the areas at 2650 m elevation within the Parque Nacional do Caparaó, in the state of Minas Gerais. Using Google Maps - Text Search and Terrain View, located the Parque Nacional do Caparaó, and visualized all the areas at an elevation of 2650 m. Using Google Maps - What's Here tool, found coordinates for the closest point at 2650 m elevation to the approximate geographic center of all the areas at 2650 m elevation. Using Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool, determined linear extent by measuring a straight line from the selected final coordinates to the most distant point at 2650 m elevation within the bounds of the park in the state of Minas Gerais (-20.444589, -41.813334). Input linear extent (1170.5 m), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined area).
