Hi,
I've found one approximate match in GNS so far (Mota- Kha-n Darra for
requested Mota Khan
Danda), if that source may help (http://geonames.nga.mil - it is
compatible with OSM, unlike geonames.org).
Best wishes,

Hi everyone,
I have setup a public google spreadsheet of flood affected villages in
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa at http://bit.ly/pkflood_kp
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.
Can I ask anyone with some time on their hands to start by
1. checking http://www.geonames.org/advanced-search.html? for the
village. If a location is found add it to the latitude and longitude. If
you feel the need to verify the location from a second independent
source check another geocoder as well.
2. verifying it from second source
I have set up openlayers here with the geonames embedded in it:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1415964/pkfloods_dma.html
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
3. Feel free to suggest improvement and also share with anyone you know
who can assist
Thanks
Shoaib Burq
