and, using
your capability to read a clock, try to imagine where the touristic points
could
be.
Port
on Rio Negro StatusQuo© MNS m6:4
r10
| StatusQuo© (where are you) |
is a prefix for a logical position code that also should substitute postal codes
|
| MNS |
prefix for Manaus, MUN for Munich and so on
|
| m6 ( horizon hour ) |
Imagine the city as a clock centered on the Teatro Amazonas. Also the famous tenor Enrico Caruso sang there. This pole is called m0 m12 is defined as the direction from m0 to north. According to this, the port is situated on the south of the city
|
| :4 ( horizon minute ) |
is a sub-division of the horizon hour. The
port is situated „later“
(= clockwise) than the direction m6
but „earlier“ than m7
|
| r10 ( from radius ) |
is the distance to m0 in steps of 100 meters, 100 yards or blocks of houses. The distance m0-to-port is 1 km
|
| By
the way: near there you can see a fantastic natural spetacle. the Amazonas
river arises from the meeting of the Rio Negro and the Rio Solimoes. These
rivers have different colours, temperature and density, because of that
they don't mix many many miles.
This arising area has the logical address StatusQuo(c) MNS m3 r130 How else would you describe this position ? On Google Earth, type 3 9 29 S 59 54 22 W and you'll get there. Do you prefere such figures ?
