  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of "track down to river past power station;" instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of San Carlos de Rio Negro (synonymous with San Carlos) in Mun. Río Negro, Amazonas, Venezuela. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of San Carlos de Rio Negro, along the Rio Negro. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because the city has defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city. Input coordinates, linear extent (1402.06 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Defined Area).
