  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to 700 m along the unnamed road which connects the city of San Carlos de Río Negro to the neighborhood of Guarinuma in San Carlos de Río Negro, Mun. Río Negro, Amazonas, Venezuela. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the unnamed road which connects the city to the neighborhood of Guarinuma. Beginning at the approximate start of this unnamed road (located in the approximate geographic center of the city), used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 700 m (700.124 m) north toward Guarinuma. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the offset, along the road. Because of the vagueness of the locality description on whether to georeference to 700 m north of the geographic center of the city or 700 m north along the road, treated the city of San Carlos de Río Negro as the starting location (as opposed to the start of this unnamed road). Because the city of San Carlos de Río Negro has defined spatial boundaries on Google Maps, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) again to find the linear extent of the city of by measuring from the geographic center of the city to the farthest extent of the city. Input coordinates, linear extent (1402.06 m), measurement error (0.5 m), and distance precision (10 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
