Do you have coordinates for Angor Adda?

No joy on my end, and had to eyeball 2km from FB...Shkin, based on the reports from 10/2003 to get it placed.

To save you some time, I've tried "Angur Adha", "Angoor Adda", "Angur Adda" and several other similar variants at:

and

http://www.islamicfinder.org/cityPrayer.php?country=pakistan

with no luck.

If no coordinates, do you know if it is due east of Shkin on that same road, SE of Shkin on the track over the 10,700' feature, or SSE on the valley road that runs NS and intersects the road through Shkin just east of the border?

Thanks.

LOL, there are more ways to spell Angorada than you can shake a stick at. All of these will produce Google hits for that village.

NAME---------------HITS
angorada ----- 18
angoorada ---- 8
angoradda ---- 3
angooradda --- 8
angor ada ---- 2
angoor ada --- 134
angor adda --- 161
angoor adda -- 432

Possibly even worse, none of those names can be found on the GEO Names data base!

BUT, I was finally able to pin it down...
