  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the intersection of Rodovia do Café (BR-376) and Rio Tibagi, Ponta Grossa, Paraná, treating this locality as a "Near a Feature" (Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing) to increase the uncertainty radius (since the locality description does not specifically state the intersection of the road and the river, but maybe mentions it as a reference point). Used Google Maps - Map and Earth Views to locate the intersection of Rod. do Café and Rio Tibagi in Ponta Grossa. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the intersection. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent of the intersection by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of this intersection (-25.299328, -49.891180, overextending the intersection slightly). Chose 2 km as the linear extent as it is greater than 200% of the linear extent (121.32 m). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (2000 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Biogeomancer Guide to Best Practices for Georeferencing, Near a Feature).
