• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 2.5 km southwest of the geographic center of the city of Lábrea in município Lábrea, Amazonas; ensuring that the uncertainty radius extends to encompass the farthest extent of município Lábrea. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Lábrea, which sits along Rio Purus. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of município Lábrea. To find 2.5 km. southwest offset: input coordinates, linear extent (380836.0 m.), measurement error (1 m.), offset direction (SW), offset distance (2500 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
