lomd Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 Checking the maps, I see that the slice between meridians W45 45.5' and W45 45.59999' crosses through quite a bit of brazilian territory. Some cities that you may want to specifically ask about are (going N to S): - Anything on Ilha Mexiana (Mexian Isle), Pará - Cametá, PA (pop. between 50000 and 100000) - Parauapebas, PA (ditto) - Canaa dos Carajas, PA (less than 25000) - Caseara (Tocantins, less than 25000, real close to Para's boundary line) - Lagoa da Confusao, TO (less than 25000) - Campos Verdes, GO (less than 25000) - Santa Terezinha de Goias, GO (less than 25000) - Itaberai, GO (at about S16, between 25000 and 50000) - Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais (about S19, between 50000 and 100000) - Sao Jose' do Rio Preto, Sao Paulo (close to S21, over 300000 habitants and a major city) - Marilia, SP (just south of S22, between 150000 and 300000 habitants and conveniently served by good roads that run both east and west) - Ourinhos, SP - Lapa, Parana' - Mafra, Santa Catarina - Torres, Rio Grande do Sul (an interesting choice if it fits, because it is real close to both the desired meridian, the district boundary with Santa Catarina, the eastern point of the district _and_ the ocean. Between 25000 and 50000 habitants) There is enormous economic and demographic difference among this meridian's brazilian intersection. Most notably, Para' (the northern state) is very lightly inhabited and suffers from a general lack of resources. By contrast, Minas Gerais, Parana', Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and most of all Sao Paulo are much better bets when one is attempting to contact someone that lives close to a specific point and has the likelyhood of getting both internet access, GPS use and convenient travel. I hope this helps. I can provide more detais and suggestions if so desired. Best, Luis. Quote Link to comment

lomd Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 I have found this page http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/1219/gtm.htm which features (under "Regiao Sul") a GPS Trackmaker file with a tracklog of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Trackmaker is available through http://www.gpstm.com the author of the page, Lis Maria, had her email address put on the last few lines of http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/1219/index.html she seems to be quite a trekking aficionado.

Oh! Bandeirante Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Torres is a couple of hours north from my home (my wife goes there for work every week but she´s not an option, I´m afraid!). I go there very rarely but might, perhaps have a chance at the end of next month so if you still require it, I´ll let you know at the time. As Torres seems to be a little to the East of your required line and as the coast trends westwards the further south that one goes, I imagine that at some point one would be at 49.45534 whilst driving along the coast road to Torres. I´ll bear it in mind. David Brew Quote Link to comment

David Brew Yup, according to http://www.torresnet.com.br/nova/ Torres is indeed slightly to the east of the desired coordinate - they specify S29? 20' 34" W49? 43' 39" at 6m above sea level. You shall have an idea of the exact place with that info and the map that I will upload shortly as http://www.dantas.com/gps/torres.jpg - keep in mind that the blue lines indicate even-degree parallels and meridians.
