  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of the airport of Boca do Acre in Amazonas, Brazil. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the location of the Boca do Acre airport, which is very nearby Rio Purus. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure total extent of the airport, then halved this distance to approximate the location of the midpoint of the airport. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the geographic center. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the airport. Used linear extent as the uncertainty radius.
