  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to wikimapia.org for additional locality information for Pedra Bonita (http://wikimapia.org/632534/Bonita-Rock, accessed: 12/9/2015). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Pedra Bonita in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Used the reference material and Google Maps – Earth and Terrain Views to locate Pedra Bonita. Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the mountain. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Pedra Bonita (at: -22.987854, -43.280788). Input coordinates, coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), linear extent (312.35 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
