How Good is Your Geographic? [4]

Can't be Poland if I guessed France and I was off by 5,900kms .

The triangulation would work but I'd have to plot it on a map! LOL!

I'm thinking perhaps closer to the equator, say 15 deg. North and longtitude ~80 East which would place Edgar's tired wings somewhere in southern India?

Now you are getting very warm schmenke!!! Only 960kms to go!! More or less...........

960 km further north, say around the Ganges delta ?

Try out this web site. Cool stuff if you like that kind of thing.
GPS Visualizer: Great Circle Distance Maps, Airport Routes, & Degrees/Minutes/Seconds Calculator

cool stuff indeed
except now I of course bombastically cheated by using t'internet to triangulate

Nice pun Sr. Jote. Shall I give you the win?

[donKey jote]

no! I used internet and in any case I'll be away for a few days (1564 km away, bearing 16.245° ) so only intermittent forum access.

your website was too cool to resist

give it to the pun man schmonkey if he gets it and wants it...

So there you have it, gents. Clues abound for the clever monkey who can sort them.

The somewhat cryptic clues lead me to believe that the coordinates we're looking for might be in the vicinity of Mumbai?

Schmenke got good grades in school because he payed attention. See how clever he is! :

You'd be surprised :

O.k., here's a geo tidbit that I recently came across that I found interesting, although the answer is really not that difficult when you think about it, so donkoogling should not be required :

At what approximate latitude is circumnavigation of the earth possible without touching land or permanent ice?
