  Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to an elevation of 1500 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of Maromba in Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Used Google Maps - Terrain and Map View to locate Maromba. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find coordinates along the 1500 m elevation contour line nearest to the approximate geographic center of Maromba. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the village (spatial boundaries provided by Google Maps). Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), datum (WGS84), coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), extent of named place (1480 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
