  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 20 km. south of where Rio Cuieiras branches off of Rio Negro, along Rio Negro. Using Google Maps, located the junction of Rio Cuieiras and Rio Negro. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Since there are no named places nearby this location, found linear extent of Rio Cuieiras. To find linear extent, used measurement tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line from the start (junction of Rio Cuieiras and Rio Negro) to the end of Rio Cuieiras, and halved this extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (18951.6 m.), measurement error (.1 m.), offset distance (20000 m.), offset direction (S), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find offset coordinates and uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).
