Continued measuring distance along BR-319 at the start of this road in Careiro Da Várzea. Measured to approximately 380 km. (380.0011 km.) total along BR-319. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find coordinates. Used measurement tool again (Google Maps) to measure the linear extent of Manaus. Input coordinates, linear extent (14317.95 m.), measurement error (.01 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferncing Calculator to calculate the uncertainty radius.
