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
angurada ----- 8
angur adda --- 3
angur ada ---- 14
angore adda -- 111

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...

That places Angorada 6.4km (3.0 mi) NE (037º) from Shkin.

Simple as pie, LOL!!!

Thanks, Boot Hill, for the welcome and for the data. Interesting you found my site looking for maps, because that's how I found this place. Looks like a good place for a guy like me to hang out. Not many people are paying any attention at all to this offensive, and even fewer still are looking at the terrain and thinking for themselves.

I'd enjoy discussing possibilities in greater detail, but it doesn't seem like such a good idea in such a public place.

:-)

Simple as pie, my foot.

I can tell roughly how many searches you had to run to find that and I know how long each one takes. LOL, that's why I usually try the Islami-finder first and GEOnames only in dire emergencies.

Thanks again for the effort, I would have never found that....variant...on what they've been writing in the news.
