Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Caño Pimichín, a tributary of Rio Guiania, between the confluence of Caño Pimichín and Rio Guiania and the area of Pimichín. Used Google Maps - Earth View to find Caño Pimichín in Maroa, Amazonas, Venezuela. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the mouth of Caño Pimichín (confluence of Caño Pimichín and Rio Guiania) and area of the stream nearest to the village of Pimichín, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Caño Pimichín nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of this segment of the stream. Input coordinates, linear extent (7670.0 m), and measurement error (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferncing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: River, stream, road, path).)
Coordinate Uncertainty(m): 7681.57
Geodetic Datum: WGS84
Coordinates: (2.79939, -67.5542)
