  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the geographic center of the road which connects Alvarães and Nogueira in Amazonas, BR. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located this road. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line starting at the beginning of this road in Nogueira to where the road meets the geographic center of Alvarães; halved this extent to approximate the midpoint of this segment of road. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint. Input coordinates, linear extent (the distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the road, 5111.05 m.), and measurement error (.01 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
