  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the region of Solano in Mun. Río Negro, Amazonas, Venezuela. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the region of Solano. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the region. Because Solano does not have 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 nearest named place, San Carlos de Río Negro, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (6103.9 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Note: Solano is located nearby Rio Casiquiare.
