  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of Recife in Pernambuco, Brazil; taking into account the added uncertainty of the word "circa" (near) stated in the locality description. Used Google Maps – Earth and Map Views to locate the city of Recife. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city of Recife. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city (spatial boundaries provided by Google Maps, 14.940 km). Because the center of the nearest named place, Olinda, is nearer to the center of the city of Recife than the linear extent of Recife itself, followed Case B of Near a Named Place method of the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. Input coordinate source (locality description), coordinates, coordinate precision (0.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), extent of named place (14940 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: Near a Named Place).
