• Georeferencing Method

  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Translated this locality as: "outside/in the vicinity of the city of Guarapari"; therefore, georeferenced to a forested area close to the approximate geographic center of the city of Guarapari, in Mun. Guarapari, Espírito Santo. Used Google Maps - Text search and Satellite View to locate and visualize the city of Guarapari. Using Google Maps - What's Here tool, found coordinates (final) for the center of a heavily forested area near to the center of the city. Because the boundaries of Guarapari are clearly defined (polygon visible in Google maps) and the center of the nearest named place, Nova Guarapari, is closer to the center of Guarapari than the extent of Guarapari itself (Case B), used Google Maps - Measure Distance tool to estimate linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates in the forest near the center of the city of Guarapari to the farthest extent of the city of Guarapari (-20.529601, -40.374108). Input linear extent (22493.5 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: Near a Named Place).
