One other thing you could do is to spread the word to your friends/contacts across India and get them to help you supply some coordinates [gathered using handheld GPS, etc.]. You can then add that information, in a format compliant with AllCountries database, to your local copy. If I do find more information, I will pass it along.

Is that possible? AllCountries database seems to have very less number of records for India. Any idea how we could proceed? Appreciate your response. Priya Hi,
