Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Georeferenced to the geographic center of Lago Grande de Manacapuru in Amazonas, BR. Referred to Mapcarta website (http://mapcarta.com/19672732) for location information for Lago Grande de Manacapuru. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located Lago Grande de Manacapuru. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure a straight line between the approximate start and end of Lago Grande de Manacapuru; halved this distance to approximate the geographic center of the lake. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates, on the adjacent southern shore. Input coordinates, linear extent (distance from the selected coordiantes to the farthest extent of Lago Grande de Manacapuru, 24283.5 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.)
