Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to 8 km northeast of the approximate geographic center of the city of San Carlos de Río Negro (synonymous with San Carlos) in Mun. Río Negro, Amazonas, Venezuela. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of San Carlos de Río 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. To find the location of the offset, input coordinates (1.9218151, -67.0579264), linear extent (1.40206 km), offset direction (NE), offset distance (8 km), measurement error (0.0005 km), distance precision (1 km) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset at a heading).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 3961
Geodetic Datum: WGS84
Coordinates: (1.97297, -67.0071)
