Hi,<br>
<br>
I've found one approximate match in GNS so far (Motā Khān Darra for
requested Mota Khan<br>
Danda), if that source may help (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://geonames.nga.mil">http://geonames.nga.mil</a> - it is
compatible with OSM, unlike geonames.org).<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>

<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have setup a public google spreadsheet of flood affected
villages in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://bit.ly/pkflood_kp" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);"
target="_blank">http://bit.ly/pkflood_kp</a> </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We desperately need these villages geocoded. This information will
be used to conduct things like helli-drops, providing medical aid and
sending doctors or other personnel to villages worst affected.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can I ask anyone with some time on their hands to start by </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. checking <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.geonames.org/advanced-search.html"
style="color: rgb(0, 0, 204);" target="_blank">http://www.geonames.org/advanced-search.html</a>?
for the village. <span style="font-size: 12.5px;">If a location is
found add it to the latitude and longitude. </span><span
style="font-size: 12.5px;">If you feel the need to verify the location
from a second independent source check another geocoder as well. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. verifying it from second source</div>
<div>I have set up openlayers here with the geonames embedded in it: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1415964/pkfloods_dma.html"
target="_blank">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1415964/pkfloods_dma.html</a></div>
<div>I will try to turn this into a proper mashup so that searches
appear on the map tomorrow - that way we can see our search on the map</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. Feel free to suggest improvement and also share with anyone you
know who can assist </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks</div>
